As you might be aware, sometime round now the new
US Accessibility Laws come into force, see this article:
That means that those of us doing dev work for US
gov instancies using DynAPI might have a problem, as Dynapi breaks just about
all accessibility rules there are.
Basically it means that people *not* using a normal
browser, or mouse or keyboard must be able to get the information they need from
a US gov website.
So screenreaders for the blind should work,
keyboard navigation should be possible etc
If there are others with ideas on how to set up a
US law compatible site using Dynapi we might be able to put together some kind
of blueprint regarding the do's and don'ts.
Also, it might be advisable to include a clause in
our license stating that Dynapi is not suitable for deployment on sites that
fall under the accessibility laws as-is.
