Then maybe instead of putting the entire online documentation under the umbrella of providing it in plain text, it should just be those parts relating to accessibility? -----Original Message----- From: Al Gilman [mailto:asgilman@access.digex.net] Sent: Monday, June 15, 1998 12:54 PM To: w3c-wai-ua@w3.org Subject: Re: UA documentation to follow up on what Kathy Hewitt said: > If the online documentation is accessible, then it shouldn't be > necessary to have it in plain text. There may be a Catch-22 here. Who is the documentation of the Web client for? Someone who doesn't fully understand how to use the Web client. To be fit for use by the intended audience, maybe the Web client documentation should not be hidden behind the Web client UI? The standards for the user's safety net are appropriately more severe [as regards accessibility] than the standards for general Web literature. Just as fire escapes have to be more fireproof. Al
