Accessibility concerns (ODF pt 1, public review 1)

[Alex Brown <alexb@griffinbrown.co.uk>]

Dear all,

A lot of language in this specification mandates/assumes the use of a screen/keyboard/mouse based computing environment.

For example:

----
19.267 form:default-button

The form:default-button attribute specifies whether a button is the default button on a form. If a user clicks the default button or presses Return while an input control is focused, the implementation takes the same action.
----

or

----
19.276 form:focus-on-click

The form:focus-on-click attribute specifies if a <form:button> element is given the focus in a form when the form button control for that element is clicked with a mouse.
----

A thorough pass should be made of the text, generalising such language to ensure ODF does not privilege certain non-accessible computer environments.

- Alex.
