Hello everyone,

Regarding the Metrics Note I think it is quite well in all senses. I only noticed the following typos.

I believe when, "Web" is used as a noun, "Web" should be capitalized and when "web" is used as an adjective it should not be capitalized. In this case for "Web Accessibility" we can choose, in the references, sometimes appears capitalized and sometimes it does not, we shall keep only one.


Section 5.5
