CURRENT
WCAG 2.0 follows the W3C format for technical specifications 
which includes several sections at the beginning: ...

Rationale:
Add comma before "which"; it introduces a nonrestrictive 
clause.

Make verbs active; clearer translation.

Subject: Updated draft WCAG 2.0 documents for review


EOWG,

Two draft documents are updated based on input from last week's teleconference:
* Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Overview <http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/wcag-new.html>
* How WCAG 2.0 Differs from WCAG 1.0 <http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/transition1to2/20differs10>

More pages will be available later this week, and I will indicate when they are ready for review in:
* WCAG Pages New and Updated for December 2008 <http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/transition1to2/newdocs>.

Please review the updated drafts and be prepared to discuss them in this week's teleconference. Feel free to send comments to the list before the meeting. Note that we probably will not discuss them again before they are published.

Regards,
~Shawn
