The question of having separate (but equal <grin>) versions of Web
postings is raised by Anne Pemberton (apembert@crosslink.net) in a
recent post to Webwatch concerning the Chicago Tribune site at, e.g.:
http://chicagotribune.com/news/printedition/
AP:: "I think this is an example of a page that cannot accommodate
"everyone" with the same page. The more I learn about the accommodations
desired by various communities including the disabled of all flavors,
the more I am convinced that we will need several versions of pages to
accommodate "everyone"..."
When we work on various guidelines we strive mightily to disprove this
notion and I feel it's in the same vein as the notion that Web
appearance must be "dumbed down" to accommodate DPWs. What say you all?
