Re: [Lynx-dev] Lynx access to gmail accounts

David,
the wording of wCAG says current, not modern.
speaking personally  there are some who contribute as much to site 
discrimination as those intense on graphical barriers by tossing the words 
legacy  around.
After all, you I am sure do not believe that everyone sharing a label are 
interchangeable for one another.
Even a11y states to be inclusive one incorporates progressive enhancement,
builds on a basic, non JavaScript floor, allowing an individual as they 
are to reach content.  Instead of requiring an individual to be disabled 
according to a modern definition.
Just speaking personally, of course.
