PUBLIC MARKS from julie with tags ajax & accessibility

Web 2.0 sites may be slick and easy to use for most people, but such sites often lack accessibility support, making them difficult, if not impossible, to use with screen readers and other assistive technologies. In an effort to improve accessibility on AJAX-heavy websites, Google recently released the framework behind the new Google Reader tools as an open source project dubbed AxsJAX. The code has been reworked and most of the Google-specific features removed, which means it should work for just about any site that chooses to use it.
