Hear, hear. Sometimes I feel that coding for a specific browser has
reached the next level where people are coding for a specific
assistive device.

The coding-for-a-browser age is coming to an end we need to prevent
the same approach for assistive devices. Users of assistive devices
need to put more pressure on the manufacturers and I would like to see
more initiatives from the open source community to increase
competition.

Already way too much time is spent on testing with specific versions
of assistive devices in some of the projects I have looked into.

Regards,

Peter
