John, I know the issues and problems of accessibility. I'm sure that you
know that a key component is having everything accessible via
key-strokes. Richard reminded you of that and you replied the good GUI
design foremost. Unlike most users, blind programmers go to the extreme
of translating docs to braille, and reading them. Richard pointed out
that LyX has taken a step backward in accessibility. I agree. Is it
really that hard to allow users to enter -12bp and let that override the
cute GUI cm?
