i am confused. i do not understand this. does this mean if we include people with cognitive disabilities then we lose people without cognitive disorders. is this experimental? How wide spread are these thoughts. where have they been successfully implemented? what exactly is a standard for people with cognitive disabilities? one of the reasons we have text transcripts is so people people with cognitive disabilities can read the text at their own pace. seems there are many ends to the spectrum for people with cognitive disabilities. i do not see why we cant people with cognitive disabilities be a target audience where there is a whole set of different rules for these graphics. the purpose of universal design is to have one specification for all browsers to render. until the toolsets and translators come into being, i do not think we need to be including this, but be aware of the diiferences - so if people with cognitive disabilities of the type where they require graphics like this, then that is a distinct target audience with its own guidelines or technique. no one has yet to explain to me the accepted standards or how people teach to people with cognitive disabilities (PCD) and what degree. Do we need to have a WCAG for PWD and a separate one for PCD? and what level of PCD are covered in the WCAG? i think these are honest questions and not a closed door.
