Not sure about this one, but just asking.

In the "Perception - hearing, feeling, and seeing" section of the document under the examples area, should we add sign language as an accessibility feature?

I now see that this is in the next section under Presentation. Feel free to close issue if this is sufficient.

Good point @bakkenb, I think sign-language falls into both sections.

Rethinking this, the accessibility features described in "Perception" do some form of translation from one sense to another. The features in "Presentation" use the same senses. Sign-language still uses the same (visual) sense as written text, whereas "captions" translate audio content into visual content. I wonder if and how we should explain this (seems quite technical).

I see your point between Perception and Presentation. I am fine leaving it the way it currently is. Thank you for the explanation. I didn't notice the subtleties until you pointed it out.

Well, I had to remind myself too, which is not really a good sign on how self-explanatory this is.

Revised first paragraph under "More about perception" to better clarify this - @bakkenb please check.

@nitedog, Thanks for the update. It is more clear now. I am good with wording.
