Description Leif Halvard Silli 2013-05-29 04:32:22 UTC
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 "access" that "is accessible" sounds like it is about
  about an "accessible URL".
* The text uses the wording "long description", see bug 22187.
* (The word "obviously" 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].

Agree that the wording is not very nice, but I don't like yours either :)

I'll do something about it...
