Re: Including content modes in 4.1

The issue is that certain orthographies, particularly when used in certain
conventional ways, can create accessibility problems. This was discussed at
some length on this list over the last few months - please read the short
thread (or at least the first message) starting at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2001AprJun/0513 for a recent
discussion. As far as I know the issue was first raised in this group by Lisa
Seeman in the thread starting at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2001AprJun/0086 which is also
worth a read.

Cheers
