Hi, I believe that the problem was that the user wasn't being given enough information about what was appearing on the screen. A pretty savvy blind person probably could have figured out what was happening, however, I think we need to keep the focus on the average blind computer user. The question comes back to what technology should provide enough information for the blind user to understand what is being presented. If the technology provided the appropriate information, then the guidelines would not need to address the issue.
