This conversation highlights, to me, the need for:
- publicly available, reusable pattern libraries
- fervent bug reporting to AT manufacturers

As much as we all want accessibility to work, when executives look at the price Atlassian paid for 9 months of work to make a dropdown menu (add up development hours, testing hours, debugging hours, and pretty soon you get into real money) many are going to decide it isn't worth it. So we need to make sure that future efforts can build upon Michael's and Sean's work and Bryan's bug reports and all other related work.
