I have a few suggestions about the latest idea. I have summarised excessively, since I think the rationales have been discussed fairly thoroughly. I don't think I have made major changes, but I have changed priorities a bit. The following summary is in order of priority. Charles McCathieNevile a page Must 1 use correct HTML / XML (and should use CSS) 2 Ensure that all non-text information degrades gracefully to provide a textual equivalent Relevant techniques include ALT, APPLET, D-links, LONGDESC, NOFRAMES (and navigation design), NOSCRIPT, OBJECT, SMIL, TABLE, alternative version, email link / phone number / etc A page almost must not use ASCII art, Frames with SRC="an.image.jpg", server-sided Imagemaps, table-based positioning. (BLINK/MARQUEE covered by 1 above) A page SHOULD A) use TITLES, ABBR, ACRONYM, LANG, TH, etc where appropriate B) use comprehensible phrases rather than click-here C) use contrasting colours A stylesheet should use relative sizes and positioning where possible Where Scripts, Applets, etc are required, see http://x.y.z for how to ensure that they are as accessible as possible
