I'm new to this discussion so please just point me to the answer if I'm rehashing something old. In WCAG 2.0, it says 2.2 Use style languages, where available, to control layout and presentation. Where practicable, provide (or link to) multiple style sheets, each supporting a different output device.... it is advisable to associate a variety of style sheets with your Web content. Why was this made the responsibility of the web site? It seems to me it would be better to allow the user to choose a style sheet, perhaps from some library supplied by WAI or various third party organizations. If each web site provides (or merely links to) it's own selection of style sheets for e.g. various low vision situations, it could be hard for the user to choose the best one. Seems to me it would be better to help the user apply his or her best personal accommodation. I realize this raises some issues if the site is pure XML information. Len -- Leonard R.
