14. As a comparison, the Harvard Law Review has a readability score in the low 30s, while Dr.
Seuss’ “Green Eggs and Ham” has a readability score of 100. A score of 60 or above is considered to
be a good goal for reaching the widest audience. In this instance, due to the inherent complexity of
the subject matter, we considered a score of 50 or above to be a passing grade.

16. “The Rules of Alt,” available at http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/images/images_famsupp_85

17. An important rule: whenever an image or element is included in a page, it must be given
an “alt” attribute. Even when the alt attribute is null (alt=””), it is important to include the attribute. This
should not be confused with omitting the alt attribute altogether. A null alt attribute will cause screen
reader software to skip the image altogether. A missing alt attribute will cause unpredictable screen
reader behavior. If the alt attribute is missing, often the screen reader software will attempt to read the
image filename. This can be extremely confusing for users.
