I also suggest giving the user the ability to inject their own grammar, code,
css into the applicatiion. I believe this capability is critical to
accessibility because in my opinion, accessibility is defined by what the user
needs, not what a vendor is willing to give them. what the user needs is
something no vendor can afford to create which explains a lot about the current
state accessibility.
