Proposal for addtn't frontmatter & intro edits

In response to recent discussions, please find below several 
additional proposals from me for additional frontmatter and 
introduction edits for our current WCAG2ICT draft.

1. In the ABSTRACT, where it says:
     "It provides informative guidance (guidance that is not 
normative and does not set requirements). This document is part of a 
series of technical and educational documents..."

I propose to replace this with:
     "It provides informative guidance (guidance that is not 
normative and does not set requirements). This document is intended 
to become a Working Group Note that will be part of a series of 
technical and educational documents..."


2. In the STATUS section, please re-organize the first paragraph, 
which currently reads:
     "This document is a W3C Working Draft being developed by the 
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG2ICT-TF/>WCAG2ICT Task Force 
(<http://www.w3.org/2012/04/WCAG2ICT-WorkStatement.html>Work 
Statement) under the coordination and review of the Web Content 
Accessibility Guidelines Working Group 
(<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/>WCAG WG), which is part of the Web 
Accessibility Initiative (<http://www.w3.org/WAI/>WAI) of the World 
Wide Web Consortium (<http://www.w3.org/>W3C). The WCAG2ICT Task 
Force's work is consistent with the 
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2010/06/charter>WCAG WG Charter that 
includes the following under its 
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2010/06/charter#scope>scope: "Coordinating 
with other entities adopting and using WCAG 2.0."  Following further 
public review and refinement, it is expected to progress to a 
<http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr#q75>W3C Working Group Note.

with the following paragraph, which would read:
     "This document is a Working Draft being developed by the 
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG2ICT-TF/>WCAG2ICT Task Force 
(<http://www.w3.org/2012/04/WCAG2ICT-WorkStatement.html>Work 
Statement) under the coordination and review of the Web Content 
Accessibility Guidelines Working Group 
(<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/>WCAG WG), which is part of the Web 
Accessibility Initiative (<http://www.w3.org/WAI/>WAI) of the World 
Wide Web Consortium (<http://www.w3.org/>W3C). Following further 
public review and refinement, it is expected to progress to a 
<http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr#q75>Working Group 
Note. The WCAG2ICT Task Force's work is consistent with the 
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2010/06/charter>WCAG WG Charter that 
includes the following under its 
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2010/06/charter#scope>scope: "Coordinating 
with other entities adopting and using WCAG 2.0." "


3. In the INTRODUCTION, where it says:
     "This Working Draft provides informative guidance (guidance that 
is not normative, and that does not set requirements) with regard to 
the interpretation and application of 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/>Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 
(WCAG) 2.0. Specifically, this Working Draft provides informative 
guidance on applying WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA success criteria to 
non-Web information and communications technologies (ICT), 
specifically non-Web documents and software."

I propose replacing with:
     "This Working Draft provides informative guidance (guidance that 
is not normative, and that does not set requirements) with regard to 
the interpretation and application of 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/>Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 
(WCAG) 2.0. This document is intended to become a <a 
href="http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr#q75">Working 
Group Note</a> (in contrast to WCAG 2.0, which is a W3C 
Recommendation and also an ISO standard.) Specifically, this Working 
Draft provides informative guidance on applying WCAG 2.0 Level A and 
AA success criteria to non-Web information and communications 
technologies (ICT), specifically non-Web documents and software."
