Rosmaita <oedipus@hicom.net> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |oedipus@hicom.net --- Comment #67 from Gregory J. Rosmaita <oedipus@hicom.net> 2010-09-02 15:04:09 --- with regards to benjamin's suggestion: QUOTE Please note by "use HTML+RDFa", I mean copying and pasting HTML+RDFa markup, not understanding the intricacies of HTML+RDFa parsing. Much like people copy and paste Facebook's HTML+RDFa [5] without even realizing it's HTML+RDFa! UNQUOTE supporting author ignorance by simply telling them "copy-and-paste" this markup into your content if X equals Y is a HORRENDOUS idea -- the point of native semantics is to be easily understood and implemented by developers and authors alike -- telling authors to use pre-canned snippets of HTML+RDFa is a complete non-starter -- HTML should NOT be encouraging authors to copy-and-paste snippets of code without the author/content creator understanding how that code works, how it is expressed by a UA or assistive technology, and how to tailor that code to the content creator's needs... also, i would like to point out that there are many users of assistive technology not only in the HTML A11y Task Force, but in the HTML WG itself -- when questions about specific technologies and the support provided thereby arise, they should be addressed to actual end users of the technology, not those who know accessibility only as a checklist or an abstraction -- as i have noted in an earlier bug, bugzilla is NOT the optimal forum for such exchanges, as bugzilla itself has major accessibility problems -- i would, therefore, ask members of the HTML WG to PLEASE address specific inquiries about how assistive technology handles specific markup or what options are open to the user of the AT, by posting to public-html-a11y@w3.org -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
