Hi, Shawn! Great work! I have read the document, but so far too fast to have spesific comments. Just one "accessibility" commentt: All the links in documents like this makes the content more difficult to read especially when using synthetic speach. Jaws and other screen readers show links on separate lines. In addition the screen reader announces something like (same page link", e. g.: A.2.2.1 Purpose of Added Presentation: If an "same page link" editing view modifies "same page link"the presentation of "same page link" Web content to provide "same page link" authors with additional information (e.g., underlining misspelled words), then that additional information is made available via the platform. It would have been nice if these links could have been "switched off", and if you wanted to read definitions you could have opened a separate pane (or window) with the definition list.
