@amyvdh I hope you heard good feedback! I have data to send you. But not on a Friday! BTW, you owe me a music suggestion now ;)
@amyvdh Any time! So when are we doing Tucson for a TPAC? We did pretty well with the CSSWG. If you stay the w/e we'll go dancing in Mexico.
People are missing my #a11y point. I think the entire mission should be scrapped. All of it. Instead, we integrate it into core engineering.

@amyvdh OOh! It means a lot to me to get none other than you, Ms. Amy, to dance. Isn't Manu Chao great? Multilingualism is sexy! :D
Fair statement @SteveBuell I'd like to play a bit of the devil girl here and ask: Is it #a11y itself in its infancy or is it the practice?

HCI, Interactive development, UI/UX/UE data is abundant. To make something "accessible" is a misnomer. Make that fucker USEFUL #a11y

Access as in evolved UIE. Your software would therefore be secure and accessed by all who have permissions @jglozano

Software application programmers (with pre-web experience): Was "access" "universal design" and so on included in your engineering work?

@vgholkar I'm told I do that - ask the hard questions! I like to think it a quality :D Hope you are well, my friend.

@vgholkar Hi! People by and large do seem to understand me over time. How would you advise phrasing the issue on Twitter more efficiently?

Keyboard access, focus, state, role and dynamic data assistance is good for everyone. The engineering of #a11y must become a day one issue.

One way to make #a11y important is to begin to work with it, like many other Web-related subjects, via engineers into the site/app.

I believe the entire #a11y movement on the Web is a disaster. Why? Because it's been made separate by nomenclature, society and law.

@Bhooshan That's because you live in the WORLD. Not an idea of what the world is ;)

Now to stir up trouble. The idea of #a11y "remediation" rather than "re-engineering and training" is equivalent of giving someone a fish.

Now let's face forward: The Open Web Platform - standards, best practices, and all the more mature for it: webplatform.org/ #movingOn

I owe much gratitude to the many people of the Web Standards Project #wasp webstandards.org who worked so hard for so long. THANK YOU.

When I left #wasp I quipped "There's no such thing as Web Standards" - most colleagues looked at me horrified. Still don't know why.
