In the case of accessibility requirements, that oft-repeated 'have to' is overkill. It is a counter-productive over-reaching demand. I understand it is your personal preference, but in terms of what HTML WG expects from the WAI it is unacceptable. People with disabilities are a sparse enough population so that you have to forget everything you learned in statistics class and re-invent Bayesian inference with significant weight given to the input from individual consumers and particularly the trainers and rehabilitation engineers that work with a range of consumers and can offer some synthesis of a model of ergonomics for human-computer interaction. The WAI has been working on this for a long time. Listen up. AlReceived on Thursday, 21 August 2008 15:44:56 UTC
