--- Comment #33 from Aryeh Gregor <[email protected]> 2011-05-18 22:39:05 UTC --- (In reply to comment #32) > Lang attributes aren't metadata. For the sake of argument, please interpret my use of "metadata" to mean "information that's served in the webpage but doesn't noticeably affect the behavior of regular browsers". > What number of blind people wanting to read > Wikipedia, for example, would you consider a “nontrivial percentage?” Oh, pretty much any percentage. 0.1% would be fine, maybe even less. So long as it's not theoretical. What benefit does hreflang have to blind users, in practice? > Identifying natural language changes in a document is a priority 1 checkpoint > in WCAG 1.0, is required by the WCAG Samurai Errata, and is required for Level > AA conformance in WCAG 2.0. None of your references appear to have anything to do with hreflang, as far as I can tell. Am I mistaken? They all seem to be about lang. I think comment 8 was pretty clear that I'm not objecting to adding lang, although I'd be happier if we had data about actual screenreaders that benefit (since WCAG et al. can be pretty ivory-tower sometimes). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
