Re: making the draft for CR accurate

Lisa, The text says it makes it more accessible to wider group   It does not say fully accessible to everyone although that is the end goal.    Please ask yourself if any of A or AA criteria in WCAG 2 increase access to users with cognitive and learning disabilities.   If they don’t then perhaps we are asking authors to implement things that are not needed.   Are there criteria in WCAG that could be removed because they are not increasing access to users with these types of disabilities?

I am not sure if consider low vision to be addressed or "begins to addressed"
