Use soft hyphens more judiciously
- Recommend others be careful with their use of soft hyphens, and test
  with NVDA. Poorly-placed hyphens can make words sound unclear.
- Dial back my use of soft hyphens to only what's necessary.

Re-introduce RSS discoverability alongside Atom
The RSS feeds use escaped HTML instead of XHTML, which improves
compatibility with certain feed readers (e.g. Microsoft Outlook).

Mention that Outlook uses its own weird engine for feed contents in my
web best practices article.

Clarify horizontal line test, RT-tracking overkill
- round-trip-tracking is overkill for most use-cases
- clarify that horizontal line test is best used for landmarks and for
  multiple different grouping elements, rather than just any grouping
  element.

  elements are ambiguous

Remove responsive navbar
It's mobile-friendly as-is. I made sure that tap-targets were even
bigger and more spaced-apart, just to be safe.

Reduce accidental skips, add transcript, microdata
When a figure is in the middle of a section, mobile screen reader users
might not switch away from heading-based navigation. Instead, they might
just jump to the next heading.

Re-organize the page to put some skippable content closer to the end of
sections, and add a section describing the need for this.

Also add a transcript to the screenshot of BMFW, and adopt the new
quotecaption shortcode, and fix some structured data by using some
shortcodes properly.
