Translated: unless you run this non-standard setup that I use, the

getting what I expect, which the vast majority of the web also doesn't do.

Then try to address it in WCAG. It does seem, though, that if this was 
indeed such a problem, there would be a far greater outcry about this 
apparent omission.

While in a recent thread we had references to Dostoevsky and 
post-modernism, I'll show my far less cultured roots and give you a 
quote from the motion picture "The Big Lebowski":

"Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man."
