I think the best data collection suggestion so far was made by Philip Taylor on IRC yesterday: http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20090604#l-1058 Of course, it wouldn't help unless people agree on a cut-off point. E.g. whether a feature is a failure if the revealed preference of 80% of the sample of the constituency is to route around the feature? 50%, 90%, 99%? It's also possible that the answer isn't a boolean listens to summary / doesn't listen to summary but depends on the page in which case it would be most interesting to find out how a user decides before listening to the summary whether to listen for it. In general, yesterday's IRC log from http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20090604#l-701 onwards is relevant on this topic. Especially: http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20090604#l-757 through http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20090604#l-764 http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20090604#l-807 http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20090604#l-1028 http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20090604#l-1046 http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20090604#l-1062 -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
