Recently there was a rough consensus on the list in favor of special-need descriptors being sent from client to server as part of format negotiation. I think that we should make "the taxonomy of abilities and special needs" that these message attributes employ a development item, and that we should try to rope the doctors mentioned below into this task. Paul has contributed on this point on the dev-access mailing list. -- Al Gilman ----- Forwarded message from P. Coelco ----- From: "P.
