Re: action item: clarified definition of keyboard interface

Hi Michael and List -

Michael, here is what I came up with as a very slight tweak to your
definition for "keyboard Interface".  Thanks for letting me collaborate with
you on this item.  My re-write follows:

"Keyboard interface":  On devices that do not have a built-in
or attached keyboards, there is usually an alternate method for
connecting a keyboard to the device for the purpose of entering text.
Allowing control via the "keyboard interface" means that the content could
be controlled through commands issued from the optional keyboard, other
discrete input mechanisms, or by alternate entry methods that are capable of
generating text as if a keyboard had been used.
