Here comes the predicted changes: the Toronto Star looks like it will be implementing registration on its site — it will be using Tacoda Systems’ Web audience management and the new registration system.

Webstandards.TOer Joe Clark’s proposal for creating the media type “reader” in CSS 2.1 is gaining momentum. The media type would be defined to best reflect how screen readers operate in the real world, allow authors to a better alternative to the generic “aural” media type. Both Tantek Çelik and the makers of JAWS have fully endorsed the idea.

Tomorrow, through the efforts another Webstandards.TOer — Emma Jane Hogbin — I will finally get the chance to experience how accessibility software like JAWS actually works. (I’m looking forward to testing out some sites and see how bad they fare.) Afterwards, around 5 p.m., Webstandards.TO will meet at Future’s.

Another CSS meta-resource site has launched. The CSS Vault is being maintained by Whitespace’s “Scrivs.”

With (another) election day just six days away, the aforementioned Star examines how the candidates are using the Web.

None of the sites validated.
