Re: Web-native presentations (was: Accessible PDFs from Google Doc/Presentation)

I liked Leonie's suggestion on this. she suggested providing a
Presentation mode switch in the content which would allow a user to
change modes while in the presentation. This would allow a screen
reader user to switch modes in order to gain the benefits of using brows
mode when the content required it and use the conventional mode so as to
facilitate slide navigation and other Javascript provided functionality
when necessary.

In my opinion, Application mode would certainly help, but I have found
that getting out of application mode can be a problem at times.

Incidentally, I think the article that Leonie provided is the best
explanation of Screen reader interaction modes that I have seen.

+1. He accepted two of my PRs pretty readily.

While we're at it, can I get comments from the WebAIMers on this?
