Thanks for your comments. I'm still digesting them but have three bits of feedback? 1> what is "quick and direct"? An example and a bit of explanation might help to clarify for user agent developpers just what might be done by way of implementing such a property. 2> word 2,000 handles the guideline and techniques documents just fine. I wonder if it is something 97 doesn't support? 3> an assistive technology is just a bit more than a prostheses. this is changing, but for legacy sake, we cannot justifyiably marry the two terms <user agent> and <assistive technology just yet. 4> your use of "caps for emphasis" went in my screenreader and out the other end and sounded flat. If you wish ---and this is for every one--- to indicate emphasis, you may do anything visual you like, but use the word emphasized or some other string that you designate and inform us of to achieve this effect for screen readers. Otherwise, I'd have to hand read each word. This is where I love braille but can't afford a braille display. Thanks for giving us all some good feedback and interesting input to think about. -- Hands-On Technolog(eye)s Touching The Internet: mailto:poehlman@clark.net Voice: 301.949.7599 ftp://ftp.clark.net/pub/poehlman http://poehlman.clark.net Dynamic Solutions Inc.
