----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon Dodd" [snip] > That is, unless it was CSS rendered to > look like the standard form (like the example above). Well, that was a given. We're not talking about the visual representation as a list, merely the underlying code. > by being 'semantically' > correct you would actually decrease accessibility by making the breadcrumb > understandable only to those who are teccie coding pedants thinking about screenreaders, for instance, the argument becomes: what's more logical to understand? "you are here: home greater than level 1 greater than level 2" or (and i don't have Jaws or similar here at home, so forgive me if this is not the exact output you'd hear...but you get the idea) "you are here: list with three items. 1 home. 2 level 1. 3 level 2" We have not forgotten about the users, au contraire. We're trying to find a good practice that is more logical (in markup, and by extension can then be processed and presented by AT in a more logical way than a single linear stream of words, interspersed with "greater than") Glad we're providing amusing entertainment along the way ;) Patrick H.
