Was just reading up on Standards Next (missed the cognition and accessibility session) and noticed that your linkback to standards-next.org is missing a "d" , thought you'd want to know. Cheers @copious Hi Heni,

Great to hear from you at Accessibility 2.0. Was just reading up on Standards Next (missed the cognition and accessibility session) and noticed that your linkback to standards-next.org is missing a “d” , thought you’d want to know.

If I'm reading your comment correctly I'd say the big thing that came out from SN was that you can't assume a user understands “bigger text” and “smaller text”. This is in part because there is no standards way of conveying this information that users can get familiar with. From comments from people of the day this is because culturally the meaning of icons / text to convey standards commands is so difficult to pin down. I think you're right in that the browser has a responsibility to support people finding these options and this is something Opera both does and is looking to improve. Hi Gonzalo, I think we may have exchanged comments over at Jamie Knight's blog and yes, I wish we could have podcasted it too. This is something we'll be looking at for future meetups if possible but I hope for now some of the write ups have given you some idea of how the day went. Prisca - the lightbox discussion was a good one. A few of the attendees - Jim O'Donnel, Mike Davis, Alastair Campbell, Ian Pouncy - have continued the conversation over twitter and at Accessibility 2.0 yesterday so maybe we'll see some nifty fixes on the horizon.
