accessibility ambassador, Dan for the testing framework, Matt on all things
editing and for reorganizing the specs into these three simplified
versions.  A big thank you to our fearless W3C leader Ivan, who kept us on

former Accessibility 1.0 specification and will transition to using this
updated 1.1 specification once it becomes a W3C Recommendation.
