Re: why is it so hard to read the aria spec

It is interesting if they take that view, and if that is why they
haven't made the web page accessible...I would be curious to know if
that is the case. If so, that is basically saying that devs can't be
blind, Deaf-Blind or have low vision and use AT themselves, which is
far from the reality...
