Example: The text "Example of the results of a failure to meet the success criterion" is incomprehensible

Proposed Change:

Rewrite example; Related issues: (space separated ids); WG Notes: [TEAMB] Discussed in the 03 August 2006 telecon: Resolution: LC-1111 with the amended example title. http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2006/08/03-wai-wcag-minutes.html {accept} DONE replace example with: Example that fails to meet the success criterion: An on-line subscription form. A company's Web site includes a form that collects marketing data and allows users to subscribe to several newsletters published by the company. The section of the form for collecting marketing data includes fields such as name, street address, city, state or province, and postal code. Another section of the form includes several checkboxes so that users can indicate newsletters they want to receive. However, the tab order for the form skips between fields in different sections of the form. An individual using a screen magnifier fills in the form. Because of the level of magnification, only a small portion of the page is visible. She tabs through the fields, entering her name, then her street address. However, the next field in tab order is not the field for the city, but the checkbox beside the name of a newsletter. The user assumes that she has provided all of the necessary address information and presses Enter to submit the form. She is surprised when she receives an error message telling her that one or more required fields is incomplete. Updated internal WD 25 August.

We have rewritten the example to make the problem clearer.; (Please make sure the resolution is adapted for public consumption)
