Folks: I'd like to indicate a concern with how this requirement may be
applied to telecom or CE products that would have very thin platform
software to load applications. I think these products would not be able
to depend on the platform software to provide the desired API's because
of memory limitations. Therefore, the application would have to support
all accessibility requirements. For this reason I would prefer to
retain the language at 3-V that makes these requirements optional for
"platform software." If you mean to exclude Telecom & CE by stipulating
products with "keyboard operable user interfaces" I don't think this
would completely exclude all such products.



Thanks, Paul
