Well, yes it does, except that highly stylised text (the extreme end of what can be done with CSS, and beyond) has major legibility problems and should be regarded as a graphic icon. Imagine using the lettering in the IBM logo to write a couple of lines of text - although most people could figure it out, it isn't particularly legible. In which case I think there is a pair of graphic icons. And I think our proposals then become the same thing.

The quality of text effects you can get in CSS is woefully limited, thus reducing the types of designs available to use. However, having both highly stylized gif/jpeg text _and_ text-only, scalable-size text links lets you have your cake and eat it too, if we are talking about a single UI/document model. --Kynn -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +1 617 258 5999 Location: 21 Mitchell street FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France)
