[last call] Cognitive disability

The guidelines place in level 3 very many of the requirements necessary to  
help people with cognitive and reading disabilities access the web. Since  
only 50% of level 3 requirements (as chosen by content authors) need to be  
met in order to claim confomance to the guidelines, it is quite possible  
to conform to the guidelines at triple-A level while doing very little  
(and clearly not enough) to address the needs of these user groups.

I propose either that this be explicitly and clearly explained in the  
introductory and conformance sections, or that the levels system be  
reworked as per my lat call comment on them.

cheers
