usability and accessibility improvement
Hello, I'm wondering if there is a plan regarding usability and accessibility of standard Drupal themes. I'd like to know if somebody already thought about implementing: - skip-navigation, return-to-top links - change-font-size, high-contrast-css links - internal, external and mailto links differentiation -- Egon Bianchet <egon.bianchet@gmail.com>

I don't do skip-navigation links as I tend to have only a small number of links at the top. For a larger site, it will possibly be more important. I've seen themes with font changes, but I can't remember them off the top of my head. Obviously high contrast would only be a small step from there. -- David Carrington

- skip-navigation, return-to-top links Some themes have them - change-font-size, high-contrast-css links This really is a Client thing. Any cliebnt can change the font-sizes. Adding this to your website is IMHO wrong. - internal, external and mailto links differentiation Not possible ATM, since we have no default way of handling links/HTML. the liks bundle will introduce theme functions that allow you to add classes and IDs to your links.

With regards to accessibility: if your themes is XHTML1.0 Strict you are 99%+ accessible. And usability is like beauty: Its in the eye of the beholder. (think VI diehards) andre Egon Bianchet wrote:

Accessibility is more complex than this: i could have valid markup, but used in a non-semantic way, for example think about "click here" labels which are not meaningful when read outside their context, or alt tags like "logo.gif" for images, which do validate but also constitute an accessibility barrier. -- Egon Bianchet <egon.bianchet@gmail.com>
