handling review thread act-rules#2075 (comment) like this:

- changing the visible-inner-text definition to treat <p> w/ "display: inline" differently.   (treats it differently effectively, not explicitly.)
- adding a passed example which shows a corresponding <p> w/ "display: inline" case.

 #### Passed Example 9
 
+The [visible inner text][] of this link is "ACT" (with no spaces) because of the explicit styles of "display: inline" on the <p> elements and the absence of whitespace between the <p> elements.  The cases of "display: inline" and "display: block" are handled by the definition of [visible inner text of an element][].  This example shows that the definition agrees with the visual rendering done by the browser.

 The [visible inner text][] is "Download specification".  The words "the" and "gizmo" aren't part of it.

 The [visible inner text][] is "Download specification", which includes a space character between the two words due to the second clause of the definition of [visible inner text of a text node][].

 This example shows that the [visible inner text][] isn't always the same as the [innerText][https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/dom.html#the-innertext-idl-attribute].  The visible inner text is "Download specification".  The innerText is 'Download \ngizmo\nspecification'.  This rule uses the visible inner text - not innerText.

 This example shows that the [label in name algorithm][] handles many kinds of whitespace.
 
 ```html
 <a aria-label="compose email" href="#">compose &nbsp;&nbsp;<br> email</a>
 ```
 
-#### Passed Example 13
+#### Passed Example 14
 
 This example passes the rule because "YYYY-MM-DD" is in brackets.  Text in brackets is removed by the [label in name algorithm][], because its not normally spoken by speech-input users.  
 
 ```html
 <button aria-label="Search by date">Search by date (YYYY-MM-DD)</button>
 ```
 
-#### Passed Example 14
+#### Passed Example 15
 
 The passes for two reasons: 1) because the ellipsis ("…") is [non-text content][], and 2) because the ellipsis is neither a letter nor a digit and so is filtered out by the [label in name algorithm][].
 
 ```html
 <button aria-label="Next">Next…</button>
 ```
 
-#### Passed Example 15
+#### Passed Example 16
 
 This passes because the [label in name algorithm][] effectively ignores all punctuation and emoji, in both the visible inner text and the accessible name, as long as they don't break up words.
