Re: [orca-list] Lynx how many people use this browser

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

This is correct with respect to W3C. It's perfectly possible, in fact
it's quite common, to find sites that conform well to WCAG 2.0 but don't
work in Lynx.

This is not a good way to think about W3C standards conformance.
