comments from the EOWG

EO2. consider changing from "XYZ must ABC" to "XYZ are ABC", for example: from "Editing-views must be perceivable" to "Editing-views are perceivable"

Although the WCAG 2.0 Principles use "must" statements, there has been increasing attention on the use of RFC2119 words (must, should, may). Since we are a guideline, using the RFC2119 words is discouraged.

Principle A.1: Authoring tool user interfaces follow applicable accessibility guidelines

Principle A.2: Editing-views are perceivable

Principle A.3: Editing-views are operable

Principle A.4: Editing-views are understandable

Principle B.1: Fully automatic processes produce accessible content

Principle B.2: Authors are supported in producing accessible content

Principle B.3: Authors are supported in improving the accessibility of existing content

Principle B.4: Authoring tools promote and integrate their accessibility features

EO3. Guideline B.3.1.2 I don't understand this "instructions are provided from the check" - this phrase needs clarification.

Existing:
B.3.1.2 Help Authors Decide: If the authoring tool provides checks that require authors to decide whether a potential web content accessibility problem (WCAG) is correctly identified (i.e., manual checking and semi-automated checking), then instructions are provided from the check that describe how to decide. (Level A)

Proposed
B.3.1.2 Help Authors Decide: If the authoring tool provides checks *(also called an accessibility checker)* that require authors to decide whether a potential web content accessibility problem (WCAG) is correctly identified (i.e., manual checking and semi-automated checking), then instructions are provided from the *checker* that describe how to decide. (Level A)
