McTim,

In my comments I was pointing to a "sin of omission" rather than a "sin of
commission"

SHOULD NOT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF STANDARDS AS SUPPORTIVE OF BROAD BASED
INLUSION BE INCLUDED AS A FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE--INCLUDING INCLUSION OF
THOSE WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITIES, THOSE IN RURAL AND REMOTE LOCATION, THOSE
WHO ARE SOCIALLY AND ECONOMICALLY MARGINALIZED?

I read the doc and your comments.

I see no words that exclude anyone, let alone 4/5 of the world.  Can you
point out the exclusionary text please?
