EOWG, Please note that after some internal discussion about possible misinterpretations of the literature review title we have amended it to: "Web Accessibility for Older Users: A Literature Review" This also emphasises that we are interested in older people as users of the Web. At the same time, some small changes have been made to the Abstract and the Status section and some updates have been made to the References section. Also note that over the next few days I intend to link all the references cited in the main document to the appropriate entry in the Reference section and will upload new versions as I complete this task. No content will be changed during this period, just reference updates.
