As my motivation is mostly accessibility, I wanted to get some more input from experts in that area. So I tried to write to w3c-wai-gl@w3.org. Unfortunately, this did not yet work for technical reasons. So it may take me some more time. > I'm still not sure whether the proposal is for "plain language" in the > government sense, meaning content that gets right to the point and > doesn't beat around the bush, or "simplified language" that a child or > second-language learner could understand. These are different concepts. I am sorry if I contributed to that confusion by using "plain". I had thought it might cover all of this, which it apparently does not. Which term is used in the end also depends on the exact semantics. The candidates I recall are "plain", "easy", "simple", "basic", and "cnl". I am also not sure about the distinction you make. There are clearly different kinds of "simplified language" that are targeted at different audiences. IMHO "plain" is just one more style of simplified language. However, I have not yet found a sound definition for this. tobias
