Re: Axis attribute

The usefulness is not really the issue. I understand that this might seem
strange, but developing according to W3C standards does not only concern the
time being, but the time to come. Hopefully Jaws and other tools used to
convey web based information will improve in upcoming versions, but at this
time they do not fully conform to W3C recommendations and specifications.

Think of it this way. If web developers produce services according to W3C
specifications and recommendations, one day Jaws and other tools will render
web based content as it was meant to be rendered. That is when we get the
real use of it, and now is the time to develop this way, in order not to be
one step behind when Jaws reaches that goal.
