    gl: Proposed intent

    Users with some types of disabilities have difficulty reading
    pages that use normally-formatted text. Some users with low
    vision, dyslexia, and related conditions cannot read
    normally-formatted text. However, they can read text that has a
    format customized to their individual needs (e.g. larger
    letters, different font, more spacing). On the other hand,
    users with some cognitive disabilities,...

    scribe: or who need to reduce the number of commands they enter
    to scroll through a document, may need to fit more information
    on the screen (e.g. smaller letters or spacing). Users need to
    access a wide range of font sizes, styles, colors, and other
    attributes in order to find the combination that works best for
    their needs. When providing preference settings and view
    options, it is important to...
    ... avoid making assumptions that would limit the user’s
    formatting choices.

    <KimPatch> Users with some cognitive disabilities, or who need
    to reduce the number of commands they enter to scroll through a
    document, may need to fit more information on the screen (e.g.
    smaller letters or spacing).

    <KimPatch> Users with some cognitive disabilities and those who
    need to reduce the number of commands needed to scroll through
    a document, may need to make adjustments so they can fit more
    information on the screen (e.g. smaller letters or spacing).

    <KimPatch> Users with some types of disabilities have
    difficulty reading pages that use normally-formatted text. For
    example,

    <Greg> "Lee has low vision from albinism and when the
    background is white, it is hard for her to read and hurts her
    eyes. She changes the colors in her operating system to white
    text on a black background. *However, many web pages specify
    their own colors, so she adjusts the user preferences in her
    browser to always use the system colors (or another set of
    colors of her choosing), regardless of how...

    <Greg> ...the pages are authored.*"

    change second name to Betty-Sue who has low vision from
    nystagmus and ...

    Betty Sue who has low vision from nystagmus and has difficulty
    seeing small fonts. The browser on her computer provides 5 font
    sizes. However, the largest isn't big enough. The browser
    settings provide an option to override the 5 font sizes with
    customized font range, so that Betty Sue can select the
    specific font size she needs.

    author has formatted it.
