Survey on Comments from EOWG

Last week, comments from the Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG) 
were sent to me. There are comments on ATAG itself, followed by comments 
on ATAG supporting documents that EOWG is working on.
http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/ATAG_review#ATAG_2.0

The comments are mostly editorial, and I have made those changes.  They 
are marked as [JS:  ]. However, there are two comments that I thought 
merited review from the working group.

The comments and proposals are detailed below, and are in a survey.
https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35520/20130807/
Please complete the survey by Monday 12 August before the meeting, 
especially if you are not able to attend.

EO2. consider changing from "XYZ must ABC" to "XYZ are ABC", for 
example: from "Editing-views must be perceivable" to "Editing-views are 
perceivable"

I propose that AUWG approve this change.  Because these are Guidelines, 
using RFC2119 keywords (must, should, may) is discouraged.

EO3. Guideline B.3.1.2 I don't understand this "instructions are 
provided from the check" - this phrase needs clarification.

Existing:
B.3.1.2 Help Authors Decide: If the authoring tool provides checks that 
require authors to decide whether a potential web content accessibility 
problem (WCAG) is correctly identified (i.e., manual checking and 
semi-automated checking), then instructions are provided from the check 
that describe how to decide. (Level A)

Proposed
B.3.1.2 Help Authors Decide: If the authoring tool provides checks 
*(also called an accessibility checker)* that require authors to decide 
whether a potential web content accessibility problem (WCAG) is 
correctly identified (i.e., manual checking and semi-automated 
checking), then instructions are provided from the *checker* that 
describe how to decide. (Level A)
