Re: How pages are generated and Accessibility?

From a larger long term accessibility point of view, this method of processing
information from a xml vocabulary interpreting it with ssl or another
processor and presenting the information as html is very powerful for
providing information to assistive technology.

For example: currently most mathematical equations are displayed with gif
images which are not accessible by a screen reader. But, if mathml is used a
ssl processor can interpret the meaning or the important information and
present it to the screen reader in a usuable format.

I would like to see much more effort into this approach for making information
accessible.
