This as true of metaphor as it is of tone. Communication is very much more difficult and diverse than the current rather tecchie version w3c/wai supports. I find it impossible to contribute to eo documents, they support a heirarchic and business approach, which I believe is antithetical to the meaning of accessibility. It would appear to exclude all but the 'power brokers'. For me this is merely an indication of how incapable our efforts are of appealing to the masses, our end users, and an attempt at a rationalisation. -- jonathan chetwynd http://www.peepo.com "have fun surfing the net" http://www.learningdifficulty.org
