Some questions re: Configurability in ATAG2.0

Some questions:



Do we want to say "configurable by the user?" in following text?  Or do you 
interpret "author" as the "user" of the authoring tool?

Why would this be a Priority 3 checkpoint (and not higher)?  In what order 
should it be placed logically in Guideline 4 (in relation to the other 
Guideline 4 checkpoints)?

Do we want to say in following text "The user (author?)-configurability of 
all functions related..", as well as "equivalent to the user 
(author?)-configurability of all comparable functions..", and "number of 
options under author (user?) control.." (do you mean author as user of 
authoring tool)?
