Rich, James, FYI, Rich's post to the IA2 list was scrubbed and a link provided to the original HTML attachment; however, it's not easy to read that way (see: http://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/accessibility-ia2/2016-February/001996.html). I'm hoping this reply will replay the email thread on the IA2 list in a way that does not involve an attachment.
