Hi James, In context below... By the way, do Harry Potter fans who meet you ask about Theodore? On Fri, 28 Feb 2020, James Knott via talk wrote:

Some of those people work for Google, but never mind.
Then there are those with so much crap going on that you can't find what you want.
Which is one of the things that make me a bit loopy about the entire accessibility concept. In general universal web design is, or was, about ease and simplicity. The whole internet super highway analogy being rather a fine one. You want to get where you are going without stuff in the street, signs that lead nowhere, and random flashing confusing items...and such is true no matter how you interact with that site. Unfortunately, with this being also true for some in the access business, people think inclusion should start with a body focus, not a function focus. Add those who insist that a shared body label equals a shared accommodation, and little gets done. You have people needing to create their sites without a a great deal of knowledge, using a machine that likely scares them rather allot. so they reach for an instant design tool which is often more about looking pretty then accomplishing a goal..then there is JavaScript, an entire rant all by itself. Still, I often feel things might be far more inclusive if the question was less about how a person experiencing sight loss, or using a voice browser or an augmented keyboard would do the job, after all given how little the general public encounters those concepts with computers, a discussion sort of stalls on the..what? you can't use a computer if you..fill in the blank. Instead, speaking personally I would rather t he discussion start with okay, your client lives in rural Canada with little bondage for their internet, so how fast will your page load for them, and can they find your services easily? or, okay your client has an older laptop, meaning no mouse , just a keyboard. what happens if they hit entre on this link? Creating lots of doors to the same structure just sense more inclusive to me, no matter what the person is using to reach said site in the first place. I am presently having a discussion with my bank about their on line platform, which has a keyboard functional option to register, but a javascripted harmless button that does not work from the keyboard if one wants to log in, which in turn leads to a blank page with no active links to use at all.
