They address two very distinct principles: 2. generate accessible content and 2. have an accessible user interface. Even in the sections where there might be a dubious overlap such as 'integrate help files' and 'allow user configuration', there are still clear distinctions and merging them would only muddy the waters and confuse the reader. Integrate help files and allow user configuration are general software accessibility principles that we will probably only cover by reference in section 3, so the overlap is a mute point. 3 does not fit into 2 in any other way. Trying to make 2 more general to accomodate the principles in 3 would weaken the message. Jutta
