Re: User Testing of Accessiblity Features

  I assume by "appropriate language" you would 
mean that the writer would choose phrasing and 
words appropriate to the venue? At least that 
would be my interpretation ;).

I would agree that  it would be more efficient at 
conveying tone/emotion than hearing about rounded 
corners.

A more interesting question is how many screen 
reader users  really do want to hear all the alt 
tags for for decorative details?

To me, some of it sounds more like well-justified 
caution to get all the information than an actual 
desire to hear about decor. That is, a user would 
want to make sure he or she is not missing a 
critical link or date...or am I missing the mark 
on this one?
