I would not be opposed to adding more terms, but failing to add those pre-existing terms will frustrate take-up in Industry, who are concerned about meeting legal compliance requirements, of which those 11 specific needs have been identified legally in the EU.

A huge +1! I personally am finding it quite difficult to track all of the activity that is currently underway when all of the notes (etc.) are contained in Google Docs that are hard to find and follow (especially when comments are then added to the document). Additionally, I am finding Google Docs to be inaccessible to me: for example when attempting to review a Doc remotely on my phone, the text does not scale or reflow per *SC **1.4.4 Resize text* and *SC 1.4.10 Reflow. * Additionally, at least one of my non-sighted colleagues here at Deque also has issues with Google Docs, stating, "*I would give Google Docs a solid D minus. The **blind **people I know who work at Google don’t even use it. **It works but it takes a lot of extra steps and is never close to as good an experience as if it were a simple word or HTML document. Let me try to save it, email it to myself, converted to Word, and see how it navigates.**" * They continue, "*My take is Google is where Microsoft was 10 years ago. Their solution has been to tell screen readers to learn a new set of shortcut keys that tend to not be derived from any precedent setting software. For example, in Google drive, one moves a document with the “z” key and shares with the “.”. In Docs, turning on quick key navigation was control alt “n” followed by control alt “h” and bloggers and webinars went out and told us to use those commands. Then a month later they changed them. I have no idea what they are THIS month."* *"To get help, they told us to use “less than shift greater than plus forward slash". Or <shift>+/. Or they could have just said the question mark.**In Google Docs the control to Create a New Document is not actually a link or a button. I asked [Deque Colleague] to look at the element in the DOM and he confirmed it wasn’t a link or button. I called the folks at Google and they told me it worked fine with ChromeVOX."* *"The requirement of the user to both learn lots of new commands and to use flow through keys almost resulted in a resolution at the NFB a year ago." * I do not believe we should be making that kind of imposition on non-sighted users - we should be eating our own dog food! Shawn mentioned moving to Github Issues a number of weeks back, and I look forward to a proper migration soon.
