A partial list of "accessibility advocates" who are at least as good as anyone in these threads at formulating 'syntactic requirements': Sir Tim Berners-Lee Al Gilman Matt May Wendy Chisholm Andi Snow-Weaver + too many to list! The notion that there's some brainwashed cabal of "accessibility advocates" who are living in a dream world wherein a dominant goal (achieving seamless accessibility) is a map without any territory. We are all "special" and far from being intransigent. I daresay that those in the above list are fully as qualified as is Bro. Sivonen to attend to matters of syntax? The quite obvious unfamiliarity sometimes shown when "on-the-ground" aspects of, e.g. screen readers, gives rise to an old Southern admonition "don't try to teach your grandma how to eat raw eggs." Love.
