At the moment I disagree with this. If we sing the song, we must dance the
dance.
We've got to start somewhere and the contention that our focus is almost
entirely on accessibility as a blindness issue has *some* validity. Harvey
and I are the only ones around this outfit who are actual experiencers of
the main population of PWD: the aging. There is another group that has
almost no experiential representatives so we must speak up about people who
*NEED* illustrations.
This will help in an undertaking to define/understand/clarify/collect/+
appropriate guidelines for the selection of appropriate not-just-decorative
graphical materials. Stuff like this becomes icons (which are made through
usage, not born).
