Benefits: The benefits section does not describe this SC

Proposed Change:

Rewrite the Benefits section; Related issues: (space separated ids); WG Notes: [TEAMB] These techniques benefit all users. They are especially helpful for users with disabilities that make reading slow and for people with limited short-term memory. People who have difficulty using their hands or who experience pain when doing so will benefit from techniques that reduce the number of keystrokes required to reach the content they need.

Internal WD updated 1 Sept. {accept} Response: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-comments-wcag20/2007Jul/0077.html; Resolution: Thank your for bringing this to our attention. We have changed SC 2.4.2(formerly 2.4.3) to "Web page have descriptive titles" and have also reflected this change in success criterion 2.4.6 (formerly 2.4.5) and support documents for both success criteria. The SC 2.4.2 Benefits section now reads: - This criterion benefits all users in allowing users to quickly and easily identify whether the information contained in the Web page is relevant to their needs. - People with visual disabilities will benefit from being able to differentiate content when multiple Web pages are open. - People with cognitive disabilities, limited short-term memory and reading disabilities also benefit from the ability to identify content by its title. - This criterion also benefits people with severe mobility impairments whose mode of operation relies on audio when navigating between Web units.; (Please make sure the resolution is adapted for public consumption)
