If we combine the comments by John D. Berry (which are in relation to printed media) with the previously mentioned idea that a double-space after a sentence might increase the legibility of text for dislexic users we could now start a whole new discussion: "Are printed books accessible?" Ooooh, this is going OT though. We need a whole new newsgroup: mediastandardsgroup.org ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
