exactly. I don't have any visual disabilities, but because of my
motor disabilities, I often grab my links off of my browser's
list of all links on the page, and if the link text is
insufficiently informative, it becomes much more difficult. This
is really a question of universal design; there's no particular
reason that the way I do things would be unique to people with
motor disabilities instead of a matter of personal choice or
style.
