Re: Inaccessibility of EN301-549 (PDF format) Standards for screen reader users

Patrick,
The post to which I  shared my rant, provided a link which contains 
navigation instructions, some of which failed when I tried them.
To be sure I might  have missed a contest.  still, when a resource claims 
you can say hit the space bar in an html  document and that step fails 
using  the most basic and oldest browser still under development, I feel 
justified in being concerned a little smiles.
