Re: "Quick Tips" form first draft for comments

Hello Pasquale, Shawn and all,

here are two remarks to the form sent by Pasquale:

1. Should address line 2 and state/province be really specified as "required"?
- Address line 2 is often not necessary as the address can be entered in 
the first line.
- European countries, for example, do not have state/province names. Making 
this field mandatory may be confusing for people from those countries who 
fill in the form.

2. When tabbing through the form and reaching the e-mail link to 
"wai-quicktips@w3.org>", I think that the purpose of this link is not clear 
when read out of context.

If I read it with Jaws for example, I hear:
"order details, wai-quicktips@w3.org>". Perhaps the text of the link should 
be made clearer like:
"write to wai-quicktips@w3.org> if you wish more than 500 quicktips".

Regards

Sylvie
