The fact is that many people would prefer a televisual type experience. Its the publishing that's expensive, and of course download speeds can be slow. I am finding it very hard to contribute to the WAI group at present due to the continual over statement of the importance of text. Text is almost an irrelevance, look out the window, do you see semantic letters floating around, I dont. It was a necessary state for the web to pass through. Most of existence continues without even a word, And plenty of vision. -- Jonathan Chetwynd jc@signbrowser.org.uk Learning Difficulties teacher(IT)
