Copied below is a comment from lynx-dev reminding me what a waste indents are for people with common Braille devices. The W3C has a private estimate of what styling properties are already consistently implemented across major browsers. Does this include enough so that we could do a "repair" demonstration that would pass pages through the "stylizer" program to remove in-HTML formatting and then attach the user's choice of stylesheet which could include an example Braille-friendly stylesheet? I guess the question of "could we do the page transform?" is a question for WAI-ER-WG. The question of "what would the stylesheet say?" is a topic for WAI-PF-Braille (with help from the core styles team of W3C). The question for WAI-ER-IG is "if we did this would it be enough better so that we would get word-of-mouth advertising among the braille-browsing public?" Of course WAI-ER-IG is there in part to try it and see.

I"d like to see lynx read Netscape/IE-enhanced pages so that what's meant to be flush left *is* flush left, instead of always being a few spaces to the right. I use a 40-cell Braille display, and am always frustrated at the useless loss of two or three spaces unnecessarily. Every once in a while, I find a page where the left margin is flush left, and these are so much more of a pleasure to read! --Rick ----- End of forwarded message from Rick Lewis -----
