Apparently you should educate the rest how to make the site more friendly for your needs. I tried hard to find some information about that, but seems I failed to hint and feed the search engines as well. I find these docs relevant to educate myself: http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/PWD-Use-Web/ http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/ http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20011111.html Is these enough to comply with ? It should be better if you summarize in a bullet list of what will make your life easier with the site, for instance: * use fonts like that... * dont use thit like that... * go to this URL to see a real world example, and it is friendly for me because of this and that ... -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 fingerprint 1AE7 7C66 0A26 5BFF DF22 5D55 1C57 0C89 0E4B D0AB
