Good point on need to support collaboration. For example, if a sighted and a blind individual are sitting at the same comptuter, they need simultaneous access. So if you have a browser/screenreader setup that forces the user to turn off images to get the ALT text, that's a problem when a blind and a sighted person are working together in front of a computer. That's a pretty simple example. What other types of collaboration barriers are there that specifically affect people with disabilities?
