If I could, I would patent it and become amazingly rich. :) There are no approaches that can provide universal access for everyone under all conditions; all we can do is maximize the accessibility for as broad and comprehensive of an audience as we can. It is definitely useful to examine the needs of specific audience groups and see if there are techniques that can be used cross- disability in order to improve overall access; for example, being screenreader-friendly means benefits for both visually impaired users who can't see, and cognitivitely impaired users who can't read. It doesn't solve ALL problems, naturally -- there is no magic bullet -- but it's definitely a step forward so fits my personal definition of "improved accessibility." Was this what you were asking about or am I being dense again? :) -- Kynn Bartlett mailto:kynn@hwg.org President, HTML Writers Guild http://www.hwg.org/ AWARE Center Director http://aware.hwg.org/
