the text i threw together was very much 'a starter for 10' and the
reason i didn't point directly your, or other articles was due to 
a reluctance to reference peoples' blogs from a W3C Recommendation,
all be it a Primer. The references I selected were all on the W3C
site and had a status of 'note' or higher. I'm weary of cut 
and pasting text wholesale from sources without a clear terms of 
license, Creative Commons or whatever.

I'm happy to introduce some more detailed best practice 
guidelines in particular around the must ignore rule and will 
resubmit a second attempt. However, going down another layer 
into detailed examples is going to balloon this section, somewhat.
