Indeed, but at some point you have to have a least common denominator for accessibility. For me, that least common denominator would be "usable from lynx". That's a very very low bar, and it covers just about all of us. The fact is, fewer and fewer things on the web are willing to meet that least common denominator. As a user, I've pretty much given up on the text mode browser, even though I'll keep using them everywhere I can, till the day I die. As a service provider, I'm committed to only hosting services that are usable from a terminal. -- Chris Brannon Founder: Blind and Low Vision Unix Users Group (https://blvuug.org/).
