Comments on techniques for 1.4

Hi,

Team A members had an action item to look at the 1.4 techniques and send 
comments to the list.

The first technique on the Team A Work Page (Not specifying background 
color and not specifying text color) is duplicated on the fifth row.

The techniques about liminosity contrast ratios say that they apply to any 
technologies, although, strictly speaking, they only apply to technologies 
using a visual modality.

The applicability says: "Applies to all technologies", but this causes a 
problem for voice applications, where it may be necessary to have 
prerecorded ro synthetic speech that plays longer than three seconds.
So this should say that it "applies to all technologies except technologies 
for speech interaction"?

The procedure is appropriate for content on the "traditional" web, but the 
applicability is wider.
(When using voice applications, you don't open a URI but dial a number, but 
if we scope out voice applications from this technique, the procedure is OK.)

Same comment on applicability as above.

Description:
  4th paragraph: luminsity -> luminosity
