Hi Terrence,
I agree that its not our domain,
but I don't think that makes us completely free of responsibility.
Additionally, if no one knows about
it - why bother. Shouldn't I just go back to to pixel-perfect font
control.
Your phrase 'removing barriers
to content' got me thinking... The situations seems like a Bad Boy Bubby
scenario.
If the user is stuck in a small
room and never told there is an outside world, are they actually missing
anything?
You can only miss something if you
know it's there in the first place, right?
Imagine all these people with
visual impairment who have been suffering through tiny web fonts, never
realising that all they had to do was press two buttons on their browser. But
they're not really 'suffering' as such because that's the only reality they
know.
My basic point is if we don't
educate them (or point to where the barriers are that they couldn't see), then
what's the point?
Just my two cents...
R :o)

designer/developers domain to educate people on how to use their browsers, we
should focus more on removing barriers to content.
