Re: User Testing footage of header/id combinations, @summary and @longdesc for HTML5 WG

Hi,

Thanks for all that work it's very interesting.

Just a comment, don't forget that it's about user testing and there is 
no guarantee that with different users with different 
screenreader/plateform/disability/knowledge the results will be the same.

Regards,
