I don't think there's any evidence of correlation between authors who care about conformance and authors who care about AT users. Do you have anything to back this up? > So the content should not be available in this case. The point is that if the author doesn't care about conformance, there's the possibility that the author will specify adom="" even if the content is inappropriate for ATs, and equally a possibility that the author will _not_ specify adom="" even if the content _is_ appropriate for ATs. > If authors conform to the spec and provide accessible content in the > canvas subtree, then it follows that they will set the adom attribute > correctly, otherwise they would not be conforming. If authors conform to the spec and provide accessible content in the canvas subtree, then it follows that the adom="" attribute is redundant, since the content will either be empty or useful for ATs. So adom="" is either redundant, or possibly inaccurate. What's the point? -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
