Sometimes a re-read locates things missed before. There's just something
rather vague about:
1.1 "...as necessary..."
2.2 "Where practicable..."
3.3 "...where natural and appropriate."
It's not just "tersification" but also firming of resolve. What in the
military is called "the voice of command." I think that's all the examples
of "waffling" in the document. Of course there's still plenty of waffles in
the text describing the checkpoints and we might consider rooting it out?
I think the word "metadata" should be in some checkpoint (as it is in WCAG
1.0, checkpoint 13.2), not just in the "explanatory" material.
What (mostly) the editors have achieved here is remarkable: there are 25
checkpoints compared with 65 in 1.0 - without shorting our intent!

ACCESSIBILITY IS RIGHT - NOT PRIVILEGE
