I strenuously object to this proposal, as I have to every variant of it. I'll rewrite it to say what it really means: Jaws for Windows came up with this cool new feature of listing all the links on a page. One or two links found here or there might not make sense, so let's *impose* this proprietary, software-specific capability on every author everywhere. Do not custom-craft guidelines to cater to the deficiencies or strengths of any particular existing user agent. And for the millionth time, it is flat-out nuts to imagine that pages should work just as well when spontaneously remixed by a tool the Working Group favours as when they are read in the author's intended order. -- Joe Clark | joeclark@joeclark.org Accessibility <http://joeclark.org/access/> Expect criticism if you top-post
