RE: the official definition [of web accessibility] from the W3C is wrong

Hi,

For anyone able to read German, here is my critique on that ALA article:
http://www.chemnitzer-14.de/die-zu-kurze-messlatte/

The basic critique:

1. Naming AT, but not describing how people with disabilities use AT,
2. Limiting accessibility testing to AT support.
3. Accessibility support always takes several years before all users  benefit.
