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.
I'm not sure anymore whether we're agreeing or disagreeing. Perhaps
that's because English is not my native language.
I had the impression that the comparison being made by Joseph Taylor was
that just like with a company letter the name/logo is part of the
template. It's always there. Does this mean it's not content (it's even
there when the page is 'empty') or is the page not really empty? Are the
header/footer on company paper part of the content, do they have
importance? If not, why are they on every page then? Same questions for
website templates.
cheers,
Sander
