The proposal for 3.3 is being reworked following last week's telecon. Since 3.3 aims to address, among other things, barriers that might prevent people with disabilities from comprehending and using web content, it would be especially helpful to have input from people with expertise in cognitive disabilities that affect reading comprehension. We have a wealth of current material on general usability, rules of composition, and best practices in web writing (thanks, Lee, for your most recent contributions!). But I, for one, am far less familiar with research on cognitive disabilities. If someone with knowledge of that area of research would like to summarize the conclusions that are most relevant for 3.3, it would help us as we work on the next draft of that checkpoint. I also like Kynn's suggestion and would be interested to hear the online writers' thoughts on 3.3.
