Re: Metrics Note - Requires Your Attention!

Hi Luz, all,

Good comment, I agree. In fact, it is the current WAI editing style. 
Except for "web accessibility"; we default to lower case unless it is in 
a heading or such. I think there may be other sections that need such 
light copyediting. Any volunteers for this?

Best,
   Shadi
