That reordering of the sections makes more sense, so no objections. 

Regarding Cynthia’s proposed text about UIA, I wonder if the first paragraph and list in that text, which are about accessibility APIs generally, might be better added to section “1.1 Accessibility APIs”, possibly after the second paragraph there.

Then the remainder of Cynthia’s text specific to UIA could form the new section “1.3.2 UI Automation”, perhaps with a small tweak to what would then be the first paragraph of that new section, for example:

“In addition to the types of information typically provided by accessibility APIs (e.g. properties, states, events, actions, etc.), UI Automation also supports the concept of patterns…."

Does that make sense?

I've created an action for Cynthia to provide an answer (ACTION-2008).  I would like to replace your question with a references to the ACTION.

Great.

Feel free to just merge them in, unless you would prefer a pull request (although there will likely be conflicts to resolve given that branch 1540 with my changes are a year old now).

Thanks,

Jason
