[html4all] Accessible to whom (or to which groups) ?

[Laura Carlson]

Hi Phil,

Universality verses accessibility has been a hot topic, Phil. Both Gez
[1] and Roger [2] wrote about it last year.

My take is that both are needed.

Like Tim Berners-Lee said in his all too famous quote, "The power of
the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of
disability is an essential aspect."


Best Regards,
Laura
