I, too, can write excellent prose. But to assume we are the only ones reading this assumes we are the only ones concerned with our educational levels. My point was simple. Use common language as we tell others they should. I listen to people that are attempting to learn how to develop accessible web sites. Their primarily problem is we don't use simple, easy to understand language. Their opinion of us is "We talk in circles and are nothing but an arrogant group of people trying to mold the world into what we think it should be." Take this as an example of talking in circles. HTML 4 Mobile says we need to use heading properly and gives clear examples. However, HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.x ignores the plain fact that headings should be used correctly. In WCAG1 we say headings must be used correctly, but no where except HTML 4 Mobile does it say how to use them. Why does one group give examples of using heading tags correctly while other groups don't? We need those examples. All our communications should be easy for people to understand. This opens us to the general public and helps remove the thoughts I have encountered. So, please, not for my sake but for the sake of everyone concerned with accessibility, let's start using simple, easy to understand language. We're all smart people ... we don't need to prove it to each other. Lee Roberts http://www.roserockdesign.com http://www.applepiecart.com
