Explainer abstract updated

I have updated the abstract based on our discussion at the August 31 meeting. I added a new second sentence, modified what was the last sentence, and added a final sentence to the first paragraph:

People have very different needs. There are many people with cognitive and learning disabilities that affect their ability to interact with the web. Some people cannot process numeric information (dyscalculia), but others understand numbers better than words. Some people with severe language disabilities use symbols to represent words; some people need (or want) simplified user-interfaces. One of the main challenges that has not been addressed on the web is transforming content for these varying needs. This specification provides a means for web technologies to address these requirements.
