Ricardo, I completely agree. There is a lot Apple can do such as bringing attention to the benefit of accessibility perhaps and certainly providing tools and examples, which they do. Beyond any of this, there is no reason for Apple to take any further action. Apple would not put those demands on developers and I would not ask them to either. I am convinced that developers should come to the conclusion that accessibility is beneficial instead of having it jammed down their throats. Scott
