I've been pondering my last note and hope it doesn't come across
as teaching people to suck eggs - I realise everyone on this
list will be fully aware of Bobby. My point was meant to be that
Bobby's criteria and results are well understood, and it's the
recognised standard.

Subject: RE: THs with IDs, and Sitemorse

Hi all,

I've been lurking here for a while, but as there were a couple of items
in the last digest that struck a cord with me I thought it was time to
de-lurk... :)

On THs and IDs, my understanding of the limitation of the latter is that
only the most modern screenreaders implement them, and hence the
majority of users with older versions won't benefit from the ID
information. In which case it needs to be considered whether the table
can be simplified to not require IDs.

On the Sitemorse testing, I'd tend to take that with a pinch of salt and
use Bobby instead - http://bobby.watchfire.com/bobby/html/en/index.jsp
