I only clicked this story because I was worried someone was just using canvas and JS and ignoring the fact that it's entirely invisible to accessibility features. I heard there is ongoing work to introduce a direct accessibility tree API, but for now the DOM is required. Instead it's much adieu about nothing since you could simply serve a text file. That being said, <plaintext> is a nifty historical footnote I didn't know about, so that's cool. Side note, a lot of people aren't aware that businesses in the US can be sued for violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for non-accessible websites. |

BTW, Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing was a pun on "noting" and entailed the passing of notes. I believe "nothing" was pronounced more like "noting" at the time.
and now without much ado I will say goodbye for this comment. Adieu.
