I see now that my address-book entry for WAI-GL actually sent to WAI-IG. Fixed. > From: Anne Pemberton ([1]apembert@erols.com) >3.4 Wherever possible, use a wide range of modes of expression. >· Note: This too is the only rendition that makes sense. > >The purpose of 3.4 is to encourage page authors to include graphics and >multi-media to the content, not to tell writers to include various types of >expression in the text, which is what you have said. Oh, for heaven's sake. Illustration, writing, video, and sound are examples of modes of expression. >There are at least three types of "modes of expression" Types of modes of expression? Categories of categories? >3.4 Illustrate your text content. Sound isn't an illustration, and quit picking on text. I would be tempted to laugh at this ridiculous inability to understand simple English words were the source not Anne Pemberton, who pretty much has this group by the gonads. She seems to be shouting the loudest, and everyone else is afraid to stand up to this extremist. Unable to accept a fair compromise of adding graphics, illustrations, sound, and video *whenever possible*, her goal is the absolute eradication of text-only sites from the Web in the putative guise of accessibility, an overarching, crypto-fascist goal we must oppose at every turn. -- Joe Clark | joeclark@joeclark.org Accessibility articles, resources, and critiques: <http://joeclark.org/access/>
