>                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/VIRTIO-177
>             Project: OASIS Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) TC
>          Issue Type: Bug
>         Environment: Style
>            Reporter: Patrick Durusau
>            Priority: Major
>
> In terms of accessibility, "what follows," "below," and "follows" all inhibit the use of VIRTIO by users assisted by reading software.
> Take 2.2 Feature Bits as an example:
> "Feature bits are allocated as follows:
> 0 to 23 Feature bits for the specific device type
> 24 to 37 Feature bits reserved for extensions to the queue and feature negotiation mechanisms
> 38 and above Feature bits reserved for future extensions."
> A sighted reader is clued in that 3 entries follow, but reading software does not offer, in this form, the same clue.
> Compare:
> "Feature bits are allocated in three ways:
> 1. 0 to 23 Feature bits for the specific device type
> 2. 24 to 37 Feature bits reserved for extensions to the queue and feature negotiation mechanisms
> 3. 38 and above Feature bits reserved for future extensions."
> Same text but now both sighted as well as assisted readers know there are 3 ways to allocate feature bits and each of those ways is numbered and recited to the reader.
