Hi Peter,

I wonder if I might request that my web browser for blind people, 
WebbIE, be included on the list of "Browsers specifically designed for 
people with disabilities" (Section 1) on

http://www.w3.org/WAI/References/Browsing

WebbIE re-presents web pages as linear text, accessible to any screen 
reader, and supports forms, frames and much JavaScript. It has been 
around for about two years now, and has several hundred users in several 
countries. It is also completely free. The WebbIE homepage is

http://www.webbie.org.uk

I know there is quite a list on the W3C page, but many of those appear 
to have disappeared. The following links did not point to anything 
relevant when I tried them:
# EIAD
# Marco Polo
# MultiWeb
# pwWebSpeak
# WebSound
WebbIE might therefore add value to a shortened list.

If you have any queries or comments do mail or call me.

Best wishes,
Alasdair King
