UA desire is to be able to reference this work and check it for coverage of UA issues. I asked and got no time commitment to finish it. As I reported at our last UA meeting, this remains a work in progress: the most recent working draft is dated 2001-01-04. http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/PWD-Use-Web/Overview.html We have a change log and it awaits another round of edits by Judy Brewer. http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/PWD-Use-Web/changelog.html Topics currently included, illustrating issues for representative users: Online shopper with color blindness (user control of style sheets) Reporter with repetitive stress injury (keyboard equivalents for mouse-driven commands; access-key) Online student who is deaf (captioned audio portions of multimedia files) Accountant with blindness (appropriate markup of tables, abbreviations, and acronyms; synchronization of visual, speech, and braille display) [Note, braille display UA has soft-pedaled.] Classroom student with dyslexia (use of supplemental graphics; freezing animated graphics; multiple search options) Retiree with aging-related conditions, managing personal finances (magnification; stopping scrolling text; avoiding pop-up windows) Clerk with cognitive disability at an online grocery service (clear and simple language; consistent design; consistent navigation options; supplemental audio) Teenager with deaf-blindness, seeking entertainment (user control of style sheets; accessible multimedia; device-independent access; labeled frames; appropriate table markup) EO is currently at work on business cases for different kinds of organizations.
