Re: WCAG-EM Report Tool

Hi Vivienne,

Good point. I think we need to change "inapplicable" to "not present" to 
match WCAG-EM terminology, and remove "cannot tell" from the list. Note 
that "untested" is not really a result. Maybe we should rename that to 
"not checked" or such to make it more apparent.

Thanks,
   Shadi
