>> not worth catering too...
John,
your concern is well meant, and expressed, thanks!
rather I believe that the majority of authors consider the illiterate
"not worth catering to".
oops
well, my expectation is that:
W3C involve naive users in developing specifications.
WAI would recommend providing easy to read versions, symbol versions
etc. ie LD get a look in.
Google launch and popularise a reading-ability algorithm beta.
....
there again opinions are two a penny...
We've missed the chance to interrogate Marcel Marceau, but in all
probability it might be difficult to find the means to communicate
his work through other non-visual media. The artist has the right to
create original work in their chosen media.
It's not helpful to insist on alt, except for mundane shopping sites
and the like.
