EOWG: situational terminology

EOWG,

Situations that limit people's (particularly people without disabilities) ability to hear, see, use their hands, concentrate, understand instructions, etc. — including device limitations and environmental limitations  — are sometimes called "situational limitations" or "situational disabilities". Please read more about issues with this terminology and share your perspectives in the EOWG wiki page:
	<https://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/Situational_terminology>

(That wiki page is editable by participants of the EOWG. If you are not a participate, feel free to reply via e-mail on this EOWG list instead.)

Thanks!

~Shawn
