But designers dont use Headings and continue to use styles to change the heading text which makes user agents unable know what is symantically a heading and what is just styled text. I would hope that, through effective website designing (including skipping of and to certain areas of content) AND user agents that can truly handle multiple modes of input/output, web accessiblity would be taken for granted. I am not arguing against better UAs, I am arguing for better website design to complement better UAs. -Steve
