Hello folks,

[hint]
Just wanted to place a small reminder to OpenID (web) developers out 
there that we need to check for accessibility and that the operating 
system does not do it for you;)

I have written a blog that although not specific for OpenID, will help 
you set up a test environment for accessibility ->

OpenID is extremely beneficial to people with accessibility problems on 
the web (if you think filling in many registration forms is bad then 
imagine what it must be like if you were blind). Of course, this only 
works if we make OpenID easy for those with accessibility problems!

Please note that in Europe and the US the company writing the code is 
legally bound to meet basic accessibility standards.
