Re: Could we add "Persona Quotes" as a standard part of the Understanding Documents for WCAG 2.1?

Hi Michael,

You make a good point!

After discussion with Shawn Henry [1], to get an idea of how they
might work, Glenda added a persona quote to Non-Text Contrast [2] and
I edited the one in Text Spacing [3].

Do others find the quotes disruptive to reading the documents? As you
said, they could be added later to the benefits section. Maybe this
work could be incorporated into EO's planned editing of the documents?

Thank you.

Kindest Regards,
Laura
