Re: [office-accessibility] Re: [office] Table Refresh Delay

Dave,

Did you see my earlier mail about the conditions under which refresh/flash might cause a seizure (as per the TEITAC final report)?  What accessibility concerns do you have about a rapid table cell refresh?  Is it reasonable to allow a refresh to be expressed as something that could occur rapidly if all user agents by default won't render anything that could cause a seizure?

But do we, the standards org, have to worry about this?  There are hundreds
of technologies that could be used to try and induce a physical response in
a human.  Surely we are responsible for putting out a good spec only, not
liable for something that may happen based on how people use the spec.
    

Oasis can totally ignore accessibility all together,

It has chosen not to.

Hence IMHO we have a responsibility to consider human reactions to
the technology we put in place.

Mandate table refresh to less than 3 per second.
