Another interesting one, under Guideline 12 (although it actually relates to WCAG 13.8):
"Do not place distinguishing information at the beginning of headings, paragraphs, lists, etc. unless document semantics warrant it." I'd always interpreted that guideline as being a nod to both usability and cognitive disability, with the added bonus that it means screenreader users don't have to listen to the entire sentence before being in a position to decide if it is relevant to them - for example: Bad: "Read more information and download supporting material on California Forest Fires" Good: "Californian Forest Fires - more information and support material" So why is this bad, and why does the Samurai's new 'rule' seem to be recommending that we actively avoid putting "distinguishing information" at the start of sentences? Doesn't make sense to me.
