It was in good faith that I agreed in the survey to have the principles published as a draft. My comment in November 2007 was: > Thank you for removing the escape clause of "when possible" from the accessibility > principle and making it a principle in its own right, as well as splitting up the aspects > of universality. > > There is still much work to do on this document (see my comments from the last survey > on the subject [1]).

None of the comments that I raised in http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/40318/dprv/results have been discussed since the November poll. The "when possible" accessibility escape clause was removed from the principles prior to the vote. But after, the accessibility principle itself was abused in the table summary debate in a manner not unlike what David described in his "no" vote. We could go on and on debating the principles at length. But at this point adding a disclaimer to the document and moving on may be a more productive use of time. Best Regards, Laura -- Laura L.
