aloha, charles! as a strategy for experiencing HTML 4x the way it was intended to work [1], charles suggested: quote one way to get more information about what a page is doing is to use a WYSIWYG editor as a user agent - some of the better ones have enough functionality to rival more "traditional" browsers. unquote unfortunately, the user interface (UI) -- or significant parts thereof -- of most WYSIWYG editors are themselves inaccessible, and even the browser emulation modes of several popular extended text editors aren't useful to anyone who can't see the screen [2] -- but thanks to ATAG [3] this is beginning to change -- or, at least, the developers are now aware of the full extent of the problems that need to be fixed, but for now, using an authoring tool to render content isn't a viable solution for a large number of users ...
