maybe it's worth emphasizing that manpages in the "text only"
form are the best solution for users with disabilities. A blind
user can easily browse (read through) a manpage on his Braille
output system, or have it read to him with a speech synthesizer.
Because the text in the manpage is continous (no subsectioning
and branching across different documents), the flow of reading
is much easier and requires less interaction.

The "text only" method describes how things ARE, not how things
LOOK LIKE, which seems to be the common way of "modern documenting"
using screenshots that show pictures of a screen, and you need
many of those pictures to describe a certain process, which
often makes it look like a children's book. :-)
