Subject: [WSG] Visited Links and Accessibility


I'm not entirely sure if this query falls under the scope of this group, 
apologies for that.

One of the points in accessibility checks is that information conveyed 
using colour is also conveyed without.  The most common way of doing 
visited links is to have them be a slightly different colour.  It's my 
opinion that in a purely visual sense (because I don't know how screen 
readers announce visited links) this approach is inaccessible.

Roberto Scano:
Visited link is a status that can be notified to the user via API.
The problem is for the color-blindness people that don't use assistive
technologies, IMHO.
