Re: [backstage] Inline hypertext links - you're doing it wrong!

[Brian Butterworth]

You get a little "printed page with folded corner" icon next to the words
"Orion ship" in the 1st para, a "film strip" next to the word "Ares" and a
"W in a square" by "Soyuz" and a unidentifiable little icon next to
"Californian SpaceX company".

You really can't use this page without a mouse - if you use TAB to get to
the links there is no highlight so you can't tell where you are.  Nil points
for accessibility.
