Split diverse perspectives and inclusion points #171

Open cwilso opened 2 months ago

cwilso commented 2 months ago

An attempt to address #169: split out diversity and inclusion to address separately. There is clear overlap, of course, which is why both lists are open-ended.

This absolutely is not intended to hairsplit about what is a legitimate axis of diverse opinion vs inclusion; that's precisely why both lists are open-ended ("...and more"). The explicit ask was to split diverse perspectives out from inclusion; yes, some things can certainly be factors in both. Short of having things like language occur in both lists, I don't think this is resolvable, which is why I went with a brief, succinct, and open-ended approach.

Both lists are open-ended, but there's no overlap, not even on ones that are particularly relevant to W3C. It supports the argument (that has been made) that some of these are not valid considerations in one list or the other. (Which I disagree with, because I think most if not all of them are valid under both, and we should continue to improve on these items under both.)
