I would make the first sentence: 2.4 Allow as much time as possible for understanding and interacting with content. Using the conditional "if at all possible, allow time" has a weaker sound than "allow as much time as possible". Also, it's not helpful if the site gives you only five seconds to request a time extension.. Also, what does it mean to "Cooperate with user agent mechanisms for preventing motion . . ." in the absence of such mechanisms? I can envision a site claming that the absence of a "stop GIF animation and <marquee>" button in MSIE is a UA problem, and it's not the site's fault there's no UA mechanism with which to cooperate.
