Re: Testing web page accessibility by phone

Hi,

I would basically agree that the standards reflect a number of aspects
in addition to accessibility, e.g. audience.  Objectively testable
might be somewhat unclear.  Is the accessibility objectively
testable or are some aspects of accessibility objectively testable?
Probably it is the later.
