Minutes from our previous discussion are at:
   http://www.w3.org/2007/05/04-eo-minutes

They implemented many of our suggestions at that time. Below are the longer-term or lower-priority items that have not been implemented.
"
12.(later) The code (e.g., G143:) at the beginning of the techniques hinders skimming and complicates processing. Consider eliminating them, or putting them at the end in the parenthesis. 

13.(later) Try to eliminate the repetitive things, such as "Failure of SC X. X. x due to" 

14.(later) Consider trying to link less text, e.g., "G81: Providing a synchronized video of the sign language interpreter that can be displayed in a different viewport or overlaid on the image by the player" and if can simplify, e.g., "SM13: Providing sign language interpretation through synchronized video streams in SMIL 1.0" [@@needs further edit before submitting] 

15.(later) Make headings more simple and direct, e.g., change "Common Failures Identified by the Working Group for X. X. x" to something more like: "Your page will fail if" [This one needs a little more thought, so we change it only once – and probably best to wait and change it with LCWD instead of now.] 

16.(later) Under Advisory Techniques for 1.3.1, consider expanding &/or linking acronym 

17.(later) Ability to collapse (not hide) the customization selections – e.g., simply so it shows what I’ve selected but takes less space. Rationale: Some people in EOWG thought they would select the checkboxes once and rarely change them. They understood the need to always list what is included; however, want the customization to take up much less space, both to limit scrolling online and paper when printing. 

18.(later) Wishlist for later: ability to send URI with my customizations to colleagues
