Re: Simplifying the structure of the guidelines

Actually I think that orientation is somewhat different to graceful
transformation/device independence, but I agree with Daniel that the
guidelines could all be placed in one section.

  It's all about device independence and transforming gracefully, and
  orientation, navigation are just applicative aspects of this problem.
  
  If I look at checkpoints under B1, B2 and B3, most of them are here so
  that the "page remains usable - that is navigatable for instance -
  despite user, technological, or situational constraints." which is
  what A starts with.
  
  OK, now suppose you can argue with me about what I just said, and ask
  yourself how much of that argument is going to be relevant for the
  target audience of these guidelines ??
  
  I think a simpler and better Table of Content would be:
    A. Intro (talking about transform gracefully and navigation)
    B. Guidelines (numbered 1 to 17)
    C. D. etc. same as current
