Are they intentional or editorial mistakes? > > Proposed Change: > Need consistency through the document if they are editorial mistakes. > ================================ Response from the Working Group ================================ They are both correct. In English if you have two words that modify a third, the two words should be hyphenated. Thus 'accessibility-supported technology' should be hyphenated but 'the technology is accessibility supported' would not.
