hi, a short while back, a message was posted here describing problems with terms and was at least partially adequately answered. One term however was not described and as a consequence not addressed. I would like to discuss the merits or opposite there of for the term: "non-visual" access or just plain "non-visual". I feel that there should be a clearly stated definition of this term or better yet an adequate substitute as it can be construed to mean people with vision need not apply. This type of apparent exclusivity can be off-putting and exclusive of other aspects of access which are just as much a part of our goal as access by those seeking means other than visual means to accomplish interaction with the interface and the medium. Thoughts please?
