accessibility

[Clayton H Lewis]

new to this list...  a colleague pointed out to me a couple of  
earlier posts on this

I'm a participant in the Fluid project (www.fluidproject.org), aimed  
at providing pluggable UI components with good usability and  
accessibility baked in
as part of this we have a big interest in making it possible for  
people to associate information presentation preferences with their  
id so that they don't have to keep respecifying this info, specifying  
it in different ways for different sites, etc... this is a pretty big  
deal for a good many users; browsers can do some of it, but not all,  
plus one isn't always using one's "own" browser

this is a long term strategic interest, with a good deal of history,  
eg an ISO standard for specifying the preferences, but we haven't yet  
found a good way to tie the info into a widely used id framework

any suggestions about approaches to this via openID would be very  
welcome

there are a number of accessibility folks working on Fluid, so if  
there are particular accessibility questions coming from openID we  
may be able to help, for example by saying something about screen  
reader views of things
