I didn't realize that we were keeping counts. However I've previously expressed that my opinion is that I'm happy to remove any suggestions for specific accessibility techniques, but I would like to see a generic paragraph added somewhere in the spec explicitly stating that implementations are allowed to use any technique deemed appropriate which improves accessibility of pages. This in order to not make implementations avoid using any such techniques out of worry that this would make them non-conforming HTML implementations. Last round it didn't seem that suggestion gathered a lot of support, so I guess I'll stand as a lone vote in that column though. / Jonas
