  1. first paragraph: At its foundation, the web is designed to be available to "all people, whatever their hardware, software, network infrastructure, native language, culture, geographical location, or physical or mental ability." Accessibility focuses on one aspect of this, and overlaps with others."
    question: Is this good to put accessibility into context with these
    other things? Or is it not worth the space?
  2. second paragraph, first sentence:
    1. Accessibility is developing the web to meet its potential to be usable by people with a diverse range of capabilities.
    2. Web accessibility is developing websites and web tools to meet the potential of the Web to be usable by people with a diverse range of capabilities.
  3. second paragraph, second sentence:
    1. Accessibility is about not disabling people from using your website or web software because they can't hear, move, see, or understand well. Accessibility is enabling your website to be used effectively by more people and in more situations.
    2. Accessibility is about not disabling people from using your website or web software because they don't have a certain level of dexterity, eyesight, hearing, neurological function, or cognitive ability due to a permanent impairment, injury, or simply aging. Accessibility is enabling your website to be used effectively by more people and in more situations.
  4. in the Alt Text section, is "(Some visual browsers display this text in a little popup when you hover over the image.)" good for novices? or not worth the space?
