CH: I sure don't want to dismiss the problem but feel that a wall needs to be put up between the 1. "universal design for learning issues" 2. "understanding meaning issues" 3. "the organization of content issues" and the existing page content author guidelines. In general, I agree with your thoughts on this in relation to the existing charter for the W3C Web Access Initiative. Many of the issues that impact potential cognitive guidelines have been or will be discussed by human factors folks and much could be done by those who already do this work. I do think that guidelines are possible but agree with you they should not be co-mingled with the accessible content guidelines. Chuck
