RE: Sectional overviews for the requirements document

Hi Laura,



I copyedited your text. The new versions are below. The only one I did not change was "2.7 Printing".



2.1 Luminance and Color

Because people with low vision are, by nature, an extremely-diverse group with a wide range of needs, user control of luminance and color is required. Whenever adjacent colors convey different meanings, such meanings must be distinguishable.



2.2 Tracking

To read and to follow text, users require content to rewrap and reflow; and text areas must adapt to accommodate. User control of line length, text alignment, and hyphenation, is necessary for tracking.



2.3 Perceiving (Letter Characteristics)

User control of text size, font face, text style, and capitalization, is required for legibility.



2.4 Spacing for Reading

User control of letter, word, and element spacing; as well as leading and margins; is required for reading.



2.5 Distinguishing

User customization and control of text elements, text proportions, borders, and indentation, is required to differentiate parts of content.



2.6 Point of Regard and Proximity

The point of regard must be maintained, and the proximity of related information must be perceivable.

I started on the 7 brief section introductions. Drafts are in GitHub:

Happy Thanksgiving!
