I don't speak for Mr Streett, but I am firmly recommending - and seeking sponsors for - incorporating a range of automated repairs into an ISP service targetted at blind users (and others with accessibility requirements, or even those who just prefer less junk with their information). I have identified a number of repair techniques which I can easily implement in software, transparently to both page authors and end-users. I'm not ready to post them publicly (not least because I don't have the luxury of any income at all if I do this without backing), but I certainly hope to publish at some point. -- Nick Kew
