I also think that you did a great job.

Just one more point.

I have been sensibilized to issues for people with disabilities during
the examination of the DADVSI law at the french congress. I think that
they are both very important and very hard to oppose. For instance,
young blind people explained me last wednesday how new DRM are blocking
their specific tools, excluding them even more from the information
society.

So, I propose to add a very generic statement such as :
« RMI design should take in account issues specific to people with
disabilities. It should not block in any way their legimitame access to
content. »

Best regards,

Ludovic
