Re: Editorial comments on "Shared Web Experiences: Barriers Common to Mobile Device Users and People with Disabilities"

Hi Yeliz

Thanks for this. Looks fine to me, a couple of additional comments:

 >> Under Focus (tab) order - I think the mobile section sort of implies 
that navigation is via tab key, which it isn't, but in any case it may 
be worth mentioning that it's hard to navigate with the common 4-way rocker.

 >Please let me know what you think about the latest version of the 
description, I tried not to talk about any specific technology here.

Sorry if this seems a bit picky, or unduly politically correct, but

"Mobile Context: Pointing device not present or inadequate."

I think that saying "inadequate" opens a number of questions which we 
don't want to go into here, so maybe we can just say "There may be no 
pointing device"


 >Changed the description to "Some older mobile browsers do not display 
content with invalid markup. Additionally, content adaptation for mobile 
device agents is unpredictable and possibly incomplete if the page 
markup is invalid."

I really think the second sentence (Additionally ...) asks more 
questions than it answers so it would be better if it was removed.
