I simply don't understand the proposal. It appears that all the Checkpoints, from 1 through 8 only apply to specialized browsers and not mainstream browsers such as Internet Explorer. Am I understanding this correctly? If so, why are we telling folks like pwWebSpeak how to implement their product? Isn't it assumed that specialized browsers will take care of their specialized audience? I'm my impression that the problem of access to the web is with the mainstream browsers that are often times forced on students and employees. Am I on the right track here, or have I been gone too long and missed too much discussion. Feel free to email me privately if you choose, or publicly on the list.
