Dear All: As discussed on yesterday's teleconference I began editing our Abstract. I ended up with a comprehensive rewrite as follows: <begin new content> Abstract We discuss trade offs and benefits of accessibility remediations applied after the source code layer to deliver accessible web experiences to end users--without any reliance on added user interface widgets. * The WCAG outcomes which can be accomplished post-source are discussed as individual "capabilities." These range from supplying missing alternative text and personalizing the visual presentation to rebuilding interactive components in real-time. * We also consider whether the capabilities discussed can be automated based on the presence of programmatically recognizable patterns conducive to automated adaptation. * The technological approaches relied on include the same HTML, CSS, and JavaScripted adaptations found in-source, but effected real-time in content delivery pipelines as well as in browser extensions. Lastly, we consider the role of post-source approaches in the maintanence and management of web deployments, and also in certain potential development directions. -- Janina Sajka (she/her/hers) Accessibility Consultant https://linkedin.com/in/jsajka The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Co-Chair, Accessible Platform Architectures http://www.w3.org/wai/apa Linux Foundation Fellow https://www.linuxfoundation.org/board-of-directors-2/
