to follow up on what Mencap in N.I. said: > One curious thing here is that these web sites are accessible > to people with learning or cognitive disabilities but probably > not accessible under the w3org guidelines. A bit of a dichotomy > I think We had a thread like this on webwatch-l. The PA guidelines group thinks that they have avoided a _dichotomy_. That is to say, you don't have to violate the guidelines to make pages friendly to people with learning or cognitive disabilities. You can even make the LD-friendly presentation the default presentation and lay in the left-brain stuff behind the scenes in ALT etc. fields. But it would be a very interesting test of this claim to work with the pages Eamonn cites to demonstrate that universal pages are possible. Al
