Still a bit confusing in some parts but I have a much clearer picture that this will not really affect my work.

Given that Section 508 is a legal document, it needs to be couched in a format which leaves minimal room for interpretation -- the legalese is a necessary part of the document.

Good job on trying to clarify them. Still looking for someone to do justice to the new FTC rules though. The clauses used to explain some of these guidelines are just ridiculous.
