EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are
satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If
you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please
reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML
Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest
title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue
yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document:
   http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html

Status: Partially Accepted
Change Description: see diff given below
Rationale: Is the sentence in the following paragraph sufficient? ("All
authoring tools, whether WYSIWYG or not, should make a best effort attempt at
enabling users to create well-structured, semantically rich, media-independent
content.")

I'm not sure what else we can really say — the state of the art in WYSIWYG
editors doesn't really have a solution for asking for more information from
authors that is popular and used correctly by authors.

If you have a more specific request (e.g. suggested text), please don't
hesitate to reopen this bug; I would love to be able to help WYSIWYG editor
developers improve their tools to output more semantic (and thus accessible)
content.
