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.
