Well, they wont be seeing anything else then either, so semantics and
hierarchy of headings doesn't really matter in that case. Unless they
have it in braille maybe, but then they will probably start with the
front cover as well.
Exactly - which is why I said, later in the same post, that comparisons
between web and print are pointless.
But if you insist, supplying your nice glossy brochure or whatever with
braille for unsighted people is *exactly* what we're talking about -
Michael was referring to the 'visual weight' of the branding on a site
or a document. Semantic XHTML gives us a way of providing that weight
to blind visitors - by choosing the appropriate <h*> we can get their
assistive technology device (whatever that may be) to tell them thata
certain piece of info is more important.
