The task of this working group is to write clear, accurate and comprehensive guidelines; that of the Education and Outreach working group includes introducing these concepts to a non-technical audience. The two requirements should not be conflated. Of course, if there are significant ambiguities in the guidelines and/or techniques document, they ought to be remedied in the next version, but as Al has argued, the priority system serves two purposes: it defines the conformance levels and provides a gradation of requirements depending on their impact upon people with disabilities. No one has yet proposed a simpler system that would satisfy these requirements. I think the question should be: is there any aspect of the existing definitions which would not be clear to an attentive and intelligent reader?
