The fallback contents of a graphing application could be the editable data grid whose values are synced with the values rendered in the graph. Leaving the visual rendering visible would allow blind and sighted co-workers to collaborate. For example, if I use my mouse to update the sine curve on a visible graph, the bound value updates in the shadow DOM, allowing my blind co-worker, Bob, to perceive that value. Likewise, if he updates a value in the data grid, I can perceive that change as a visible re-rendering of the chart. If this example sounds like a hypothetical stretch to you, you'd be really surprised at how adept many screen reader users are. James
