Thank you for the reference.

We have our own policy that describes those techniques as well. Those
techniques can be found in the AS-508-A Section 508 Technical Reference
Guide via URL:

As I posted an update to my request, I'll simply agree with you that it
is best to provide the text within the same document and via other
methods as long as they add to the end-user to accessing the
information, even if that means using all techniques and having the user
be able to choose.
