Possibly relevant accessability legislation exists in quite some places: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessability#National_legislation> That said, I suspect that anything that makes it easier to create text in canvas can and will be used to create inaccessible interfaces. My personal experience regarding web accessability is very frustrating – authors generally do not care, even if they know about it. FYI, I have problems with low-contrast text, but at least I can correct for that using user stylesheets. How would I do that with canvas text? -- Nils Dagsson Moskopp // erlehmann <http://dieweltistgarnichtso.net>
