Section 10.5 includes an incorrect formula for calculating contrast ratio: (L1 + 0.05) / (L2 + 0.05) where L1 is the smaller of the two luminances, and L2 is the larger. According to http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#contrast-ratiodef L1 is the *lighter* of the two, and lighter colors have a *larger* relative luminance (1 white, 0 black) so it should read: where L1 is the larger of the two luminances, and L2 is the smaller.
