You know, I keep hearing this argument, but I still have no idea how a
document format is responsible for UI issues.
Quite frankly, for visibility issues, the computer is absolutely a
terrible device. In its current incarnation, it is designed by and for
people with no vision problems. The GUI does not lend itself in any real
capacity to the vision impared - specifically those with near or complete
blindness. Anything us sighted people do to accomodate the vision-impared
is just that, an accomodation.
