Looks like a lot of work Chris a few comments 1, I would love to see some tests for clear writing, which for English there are a lot. Are you writing them? 2, Not minimizing the real usefulness of this work, a lot of the tests do not guarantee conformance or accessibility, but are a useful as a yard stick and as an alarm bell... The best yard stick is still testing your interface with people with disabilities. It would be a shame for people to reduce the amount of user testing. I would like to see something along thoughs lines as a footnote on each test page. 3, puting the two points together. A sentence that has a, a low reading age score, b, a low number of conjunctions and comers, c, is short is probably clear and simple. Certainly failing these "testable" criteria is a good alarm bell that you may want a rewrite. But to be safe, test with users with Learning disabilities Keep well Lisa Seeman
