Checkpoint 10.4 states 'Until user agents handle empty controls correctly, include default, place-holding characters in edit boxes and text areas.' Can anyone give me an indication of the usability consequences of not putting defaults into edit boxes. Checkpoint 10.5 states 'Until user agents (including assistive technologies) render adjacent links distinctly, include non-link, printable characters (surrounded by spaces) between adjacent links.' I was using HPR 3.0 and it was reading out a group of links separated by the pipe character '|' and every time it got to this character it said 'baaa', this was very offputting. Again can anyone comment on the usability consequences of not following this technique.
