People whoare blind but attach audio players have similar frustrations...) [Questions] Do guidelines apply not only to "authors", "designers", "interface creators", etc., but also to all "content providers"? Well, the guidelines apply to content that is provided (in my understanding). I.e. they don't say anything about how the process has to go, just what the results have to do. (Techniques should cater for various production models, and explanatory documents should be written that make sense to groups from technical designers to commissioning managers...) cheers Charles McCN
