.@w3c WCAG should not be developed/designed for the benefit of testing vendors. It is there to improve the user experience of disabled people.

Found this gem while looking back at history of the HTML to Accessibility APIs mapping specification

Feedback from then editor of the specification

"the proposed document is unnecessary. Vendors have not shown an inability
to read the existing normative specifications"

Quick guidance for referring to (parts of) HTML elements By @yatil

“You always need to be very clear in what you mean. Otherwise, it is hard to read for your audience. Always include brackets with the element names. You can differentiate attributes and values by using these words. Always include the word “value” when talking about values.”

Why do people think progressive enhancement (PE) equals "no JavaScript"?

Genuinely asking. Every time I bring up PE ppl interpret it as saying "zero client JS" which is not PE. Progressive enhancement is additive client JS rather than exclusively JS?

Hey folks, I'm writing a piece for @fumacapt on why RSS matters and why it's cool.

Can you share your personal perspective, resources you go back to, clients for different platforms?

That would be ace.

It's going to be out next week, and it's in Portuguese.

Remembering Molly Holzschlag. She's the force behind what many of us take for granted on the web.

Her books influenced me and inspired me to start my freelance web design business.

I was lucky to meet her in person, when she accepted my invitation to come to and speak in Detroit.

We stayed in touch online over the years.

Miss you, Mols.
