Some thoughts: 1. The word nominal is obscure. 2. It needs to make sure the reader knows that the working group already did the determining. It is not their "choice". 3. The reference to "documentation" seems out of place because it has unnecessary and it is not immediately clear why it is there. On examination one realizes that it is refering to the level of author expertise in the authoring tool (not in accessibility). Old (10 Dec 1999 draft): "In choosing priority levels for checkpoints, the Working Group has assumed that "the author" is a competent, but not necessarily expert, user of the authoring tool, and that the author has no prior knowledge of accessibility. For example, the author is not expected to have read all of the documentation but is expected to know how to turn to the documentation for assistance." New Suggestion: "In determining priority levels for checkpoints, the working group assumed that "author" is a competent, but not necessarily expert, user of the authoring tool, and that he or she has a basic knowledge of accessibility."
