Whatever their access technology provides by way of access to the metadata, the whole point of Dougs example was that he re-used the metadata from the document via SMIL into an additional display of the data for those user who can make use of it. It's additional. The tooltips simply cannot be giving required information, that would inaccessible. Visual semantic languages can only provide metadata to allow access by the blind, it's simply not possible for visual semantics to be understandable in other ways (well an AT could attempt to say there's a circle/path etc. but to construct that to something useful is impossible IMO for all non-trivial graphics) Jim. ------------------------ Yahoo!
