@Thierry Why does Google not care about accessibility? Do they believe in 'Accessibility does not matter!' (rather than with ? at the end). Isn't their behaviour the same as Microsoft's with regards to HTML? Yes both of those mega-corporations are heavily involved in 'specifying the future HTML standards' in fact Google are 'running' the HTML5 spec.
GMail has an HTML only version which works OK, while Google calendar seems to have no alternative - with JS off the tool is totally inaccessible. I am guessing that Google's GWT Java library is a big reason why their AJAX tools don't work with JS off, but it's a great example of where 'lack of resources' mean lack of accessibility. By resources I mean: time, money and skill, as outlined in my article. Have we concluded on 'reality of today' now, or do we need to continue down the 'Alice in Wonderland' route?
