Agreed.
Specifically, I think we should not say "suggested text" but present
something as a sample interface.....

Jan,
Looking good. One suggestion: in guideline 3 you have the more generic
"prompt the author..."
e.g.
Prompt the author to identify the type of image (decorative, a
navigation icon, etc.).
While in the new section 4 you've inherited the "suggested messages" that
we had in there, e.g.
* Suggested Messages:
* "Missing text equivalent: Missing text equivalent for image."
Personally speaking, I like the generic way rather than the "suggested
wording". Even if we tell the author it's only suggested, they might feel
limited. I think this was where we were headed while AERT was over here in
ER...
