Not even a strictly textual page can do this because of language What was realized - by "experts" - some ten years ago is this: There is no way we, as content authors, can correctly predict and adapt to every single visitor's physical reality. We need to create systems that will allow us to organize information so that each visitor can gain access to it and have it presented to them in the manner that best suits those same needs Those are the systems that Vannevar Bush envisioned, that William Tunnicliffe suggested, that Tim Berners-Lee made practical, and that some of us have strived to make a reality since the early 1990ies. Today, after ten years of running backwards, we have gotten a wholenew crop of experts to help us, and we are not getting -anywhere-. That's my realization of today; it has been long in coming, and I must thank the WAI-IG list for helping me get there. -- - Tina Holmboe Greytower Technologies tina@greytower.net http://www.greytower.net/ [+46] 0708 557 905
