It occurs to me that we should consider talking to the authors of
various packages for programming languages, that generate HTML
as part of a CGI library.
For example, CGI.pm for Perl lets a programmer create scripts that
generate HTML, using perl routines. E.g.:
hr;
This produces an <HR> tag. There is the potential to generate non-
accessible HTML as the "raw markup" is hidden from the programmer;
likewise, there's potential here to increase accessibility on a
number of sites that use these standard libraries, if we can get
accessibility considerations included in future releases of the
code.
This sounds like an authoring tool issue -- I'm a newbie, have we
addressed this before?
