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.
Regards/Harvey Bingham
