Nice one, Kynn. Geoff Freed was the other source.

People without access familiarity have to become familiar with access
to work in the field. "Audio description" is merely one of the many
terms they need to pick up.

Ooh. Another nice one.
I see Kynn believes we need multiple bulletproof verifications of
anything I say simply because it's coming from me.
By the way, did anyone even hint this was a high-priority item? Not
everything discussed on this list is.
