Top W3C HTML honcho Steven Pemberton spoke on XHTML2 at BAYCHI yesterday, and included this great quote (from, it looks like, the linux-elitists mailing list).
“Google is, for all intents, a blind user. A billionaire blind user with tens of millions of friends, all of whom hang on his every word. I suspect Google will have a stronger impact than [laws] in building accessible websites.”
“In a world where Google likely has a valuation several orders of magnitude higher than any chrome such as flash, graphics, audio, interactivity, or “personalization”, I see a heady revision.”
Steven this HTML page as his presentation, transforming it into powerpoint-esque viewpoints (outline view, slide-per-page view) with a bunch of stylesheets.
