There was a problem hiding this comment.
I added suggestions for further simplifying lines 120, 121, 122

Matt, thank you! It would be much easier to comment on the whole paragraph. Sometimes I have that option and sometimes I don’t. I’ll try working in another browser to see if I get more consistent options. |

Please check back later.

The primary fix in this pull request is to reword the first paragraph and note in section 2 so that we aren't inferring that all content that needs an exemption fails accessibility standards. A Level A-conformant publication would need an EAA exemption, for example.
I also got rid of "epub creator" from the document. There weren't many instances, but the one notable change I made was to put a caution before the EAA value definitions to seek legal advice when unsure if they apply. I don't think we need to have a paragraph in every description saying it's the epub creator's responsibility to check.
Fixes #2849
