Yes, good point Jonathan.

Add braille printers to the lineup that use the order panel, not the tags. At least that was the case a couple of years ago when some of our clients with visitors centers were printing braille visitor guides.

Talking with a colleague, it's hard for us to know which technologies use which order and there's no central source of information that covers all of the A.T. on the market today. Plus people might be using older A.T. that could be using the order, not the tags.

Our recommendation: try to get both to synch up, but if you have to compromise, make the tags accurate and the order can slide a bit. Not too much, but a bit.
