I've reviewed the proffered usability writeups.
I passed some suggestions for clarifications of formatting to sbjones.

I was rather confused by the formatting of the observer notes from beland. 
How come tester 7 is talked about at the top, then testers 1-4.  What
about testers 5 and 6?  There may be interesting stuff here, but it was
a bit
difficult to tease it out.  Are there significant insights from these notes
that are not merged into the overall tabulations?  Is there benefit
to formatting this page like the other pages for improved readabilty?

My overall comment:

WELL DONE!

I suggest the following next steps:  Perform the various cleanups.
Make sure the usability/aui/ top level page has the overall conclusions
logged there so people don't have to swim through all the data to get
to the overarching conclusions.
