This new "contexthelp" attribute is potentially very useful. Currently, though, it's a proprietary feature-- only JAWS recognizes it (and only JAWS 5.0 at that). I note that Freedom Scientific plans to propose adding the attribute to the XHTML spec; if that happens this will be a good thing! Roberto: Yes... it is interesting but: 1 - Shall Freedom Scientific let W3C to add to the future XHTML spec? 2 - What about the "old" HTML 4.xx / XHTML 1.x? 3 - What about the UAAG? One of the point of the W3C guidelines and also of the WCAG WG must be to give guidelines to web developers and software developers and not adapt the "proprietary guidelines"... this is IMHO...
