Thanks for the feedback.  I'll check with the designer about this. The
rationale for doing it this way originally was that "intermediary
liability" is a mouthful, not very distinctive to form the main part of
the title, and is also jargon, so the main part of the title was to be a
more memorable shorthand (equivalent to "Geneva Conventions" expanding
to include "Geneva Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of
the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field").

Right under the title will be the first sentence of the introduction,
which currently reads "All communication over the Internet is
facilitated by intermediaries such as Internet access providers, social
networks, and search engines."  That gets us half way towards what you
are asking for.  Liability is not defined until a bit later in the
introduction, but I've made a notation based on your comment that we
could try to find a way of moving it up so that a complete definition of
"intermediary liability" is found earlier.

That is indeed how it will be.  When you load the page, you just see
ONLY the headings.  Then there are two levels of expansion - first it
drops down the bullet points when you click the down-arrow icon below
the heading, and then underneath those bullets will be a "Read more"
link which goes to the relevant part of the background paper.

Thanks!  The text remains open for comments and revision until (in the
first instance) 15 February (and thereafter there will be further time
to comment on the next draft).
