Hi,
I agree with these comments. The goal should be to make it as easy as
possible to use. There's a video editting system called the Toaster. It's
goal was to have the system easily used by video editors. I think that it
sould be similar for blind people using browsers. Some concepts I've
heard/read which bother me include:
The user could write his/her own CSS file.
The user just gets the right plug-in to work with the browser and the
screen reader.
The user could learn how to navigate the HTML tree structure.
Why should a blind user go through all these "hoops"? I believe a good user
model is an average intelligence blind user who is not very computer
literate and is trying to work alone at 2 in the morning. Why should
that user need to learn CSS or HTML tree structure?
Scott
