Re: [orca-list] Practise in accessible websites

[Julien Claassen <julien mail upb de>]

Hi Mallory!
  Thanks for your long mail. I have to admit, I skipped through a great deal 
of it. I should have described my own knowledge better and requirements 
better.
  SO I am a student of computer science, I have done some accessibility work 
on websites before and I am familiar with all the basics and practises as 
mentioned by the WCAG W3C guideline. I know, that there is a lot, which is too 
new to be in effect. So my question really is:
1. What is practically useful beyond basic measures like good HTML, CSS and 
structuring in general.
  If I want to be nice to others (no matter by which piece of software or 
technology), what should I put in? SSML, ACSS or any other form of coding to 
help visually impaired users using speech output. I know, that the 
Screnreaders/browsers do a lot by default or based on user decisions, like 
speak links differently. That is configurable I believe, depending on your 
screenreader. But wht else can I do. For example spell out acronyms. SSML 
offers a say-as tag, that could pronounce eim as (e i m - electrical 
engineering, computer Science and math). Just as an example. Such things.
  Again thanks for all the time and effort you invested in my little problem. 
That is appreciated.
  Warm regards
         Julien
