Usually

jason: Can we remove 'usually', dont feel we need it

janina: We discussed this. the 'usually' conveys that there may be other ways of doing things
… I want to keep that

Jason: Our main point is, IF YOU CAN fix content with HTML
… IF YOU CAN, fix presentation with CSS

janina: Agreed

Jason: The 'usually' in the heading is NOT what we are trying to say

janina: Preferably is better than usually

jason: Agree

Lionel_Wolberger: Preferably expresses intent, which usually does not

Chris: Regarding the broad audience, many people will not read the entire document. They will skim.
… the preferable in the headings makes good sense

We and Us

Chris: How We Evaluate Automatability change to Evaluating Automatiability
… each capability has been evaluated in the following way

janina: I support keeping 'we', but perhaps we can lose some

Lionel_Wolberger: Vigorous discussion of "our rationale" and "we" first person voice

Jason: I see now, having "we" allows us to enter the dialog from a good position
… the document says, this is our approach
… 1.7.3 does start every single paragraph with, 'we'
… consider using some passive language in the body
