Is it not inevitable that a wide range of new applications will be created or enhanced to use 2D vector technology, with little or no consideration for accessibility? That is already so for various diagrammers and modelling tools, and that trend is headed for the desktop. Such a state of affairs should not be mandated by anyone, but saying "Stop!" will not stop anything. The wider question of SVG's utility in future user interfaces should not be closed just because accessibility is a difficult hurdle or a previously dis-connected problem space. The cat is out of the bag for vector 2D, and the SVG WG's response is the issue. - Nigel. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Nigel McFarlane nrm@kingtide.com.au Services: Analysis, Programming, Writing, Education Expertise: Software, Telecommunications, Internet, Physics "Rapid Application Development with Mozilla" / www.nigelmcfarlane.com
