Comment :  With respect to 2.1.1, you state print size in terms of mm.  It would be more helpful to state the print size in terms of points, since many visually impaired individuals are accustomed to using point selection of fonts in computer use.  For example, my daughter uses 22 point font. She would not know (nor do I) how big 4.0 mm might be.

The combination of color coding and use of shapes does make sense. The tactile in combination with visual and auditory would be optimal.
