"Individuals with disabilities have historically been quite opposed to
self-identification of assistive technology to web site authors."

From a hearing person's perspective, I can see where you are coming from.
But from a Deaf or DeafBlind's perspective, I respectfully disagree.

One cannot imagine the number of times that I get caught right smack in the
middle of the crossfire between the Deaf/DeafBlind and other people with
disabilities in regards to their thoughts how accessible websites should be
design. Even the hearing blind vs. DeafBlind or Deaf vs. DeafBlind gets
into heated debates over the inaccessible of audio and caption information.

One can never crease to be amazed of the different perspectives. For
anyone's information, I'm DeafBlind.
