Comment :  4d. Section 2.2.7.1.3.1  
Lines 2-5(p. 2-23):  

Although this guideline is currently a recommendation, the language in the discussion downplays the importance of this recommendation. I suggest rewriting the second and third sentences in the discussion to read:  

"While this is a recommendation in this version of the Guidelines, future revisions to the Guidelines will include requirements for usability testing to be conducted by the voting system test lab, with specific performance benchmarks."
