    <thetext>Current text:

]]
Obviously, it is important that access to the long description is accessible to users. Further information on how to do this can be found in [UAAG].
[[

It is unclear what the above paragraph says:

* An &quot;access&quot; that &quot;is accessible&quot; sounds like it is about
  about an &quot;accessible URL&quot;.
* The text uses the wording &quot;long description&quot;, see bug 22187.
* (The word &quot;obviously&quot; sounds a bit like a weaselword.)

Attempt of improved text:

]]
USER AGENT access to INDEPENDENT descriptionS ALSO HAS TO BE accessible to THE users OF THE USER AGENT. Further information on how to do this can be found in [UAAG].

    <thetext>Agree that the wording is not very nice, but I don&apos;t like yours either :)
