I kind of like James' shorter version but will go with consensus.

dboudreau commented 7 years ago

James version works great for me.

iamjolly commented 7 years ago

+1 to James' version (but OK with what editors/group decides).

lakeen commented 7 years ago

I like James version also

I am unsure about “recommended format,” and I also do not like “This document presents.” It also has a lot of big words (three syllables and more). Mild proposal:

This document proposes a format for web accessibility evaluation reports based on WCAG 2.0. A consistent and detailed report can help ensure effective and accurate evaluations and allows to compare results over time.
