All possibilities should be implemented.  You never know what particular
disabilities the user may have, so propose her as many solutions as
possible.

More than that. These should be integrated in _mainline_ distributions.
Not enabled by default of course, but very easy to enable, just like
language and keyboard maps are relatively easy to enable already.
Nowadays Debian installs all accessible software by default for
instance. There were space complaints, but several maintainers themselve
answered "that's necessary". So there is hope :)

In any case, thanks for contributing back your improvements for the best
of everybody :)
