I saw an interesting presentation from Matt King regarding the future
of the authoring Practices at CSUN last spring.
The idea was to ensure support by at least 1 (I think at least 2)
a.t./browser combos for every pattern.
There was an offshoot effort in the work to document desired and
actual assistive technology support for different patterns.
I haven't heard anything since, but these are exactly the types of
updates I want to see to the authoring practices.
I want people to be able to use the authoring practices patterns out
of the box and be sure that there is at least adequate assistive
technology support for that implementation.
