Hello Gregg,

This is easier to understand and to be tranlated than the old definition.
It was hard for me to understand this definition when I tried to translate
it into Japanese.

<blockquote>
> luminosity contrast ratio
> {{(L1 + 0.05) / (L2 + 0.05), where L1 is the luminosity of the lighter 
> of the text and background colors, and L2 is the luminosity of the 
> darker of the text and background colors.
</blockquote>

I think we'd better say:
- lighter of the text "or" background colors
- darker of the text "or" background colors

If we say "and", they look like "both the text and background colors" to me
and it is confusing a bit. In the old definition, it said "the higher value
(of text or background)". I just want to clarify what we mean by this
definition. 


Cheers,
Makoto
