Done except for "Accessibility Barriers". During the last EOWG call, the group was leaning to have "Addressed Barriers" on the accessible pages, and "Accessibility Barriers" on the inaccessible ones to provide more clarity. Do you have a different opinion?

Made both changes but think it is too long despite the small font. However, I don't feel strongly about it at all...

FYI: personally I like using "BAD" and find it somewhat catchy but I also recall some opposition of using this acronym in public.

Still working on color schemes for the banners with the designer, its an open issue. I've done a quick fix for now: only the borders are green as opposed to the whole background. Is this *idea* working better for you?
