InlineComments are a great idea. However one criteria for accessible sites is that the page should still be usable with css disabled. It's now the question whether a page is still usable for normal users if all expert-comments are inlined there without beeing (visually and textually) marked as comments anymore (Please try that in test.wikiwikiweb). Therefore I would prefer some serverside solution (like a switch to print-view) instead of a javascript based clientside solution. Maybe we can add also some extra text "Comment" ..."Comment end" wrapping the comments section. This text could be visually hidden but if stylesheets are disabled that text is nevertheless shown. At the same time comments would be also accessible since the marking of important things only by color is avoided since some extra information is introduced for screenreaders. I.e.

• Comment sections should not only be wrapped by a comment div class, they should also start/end with some span elements  <span class="screenreader_info">Comment:</span> and <span class="screenreader_info">Comment end</span> with

•         /* Visually hidden information for screenreaders,
          i.e. is read but not displayed */
          .screenreader_info {
              position: absolute;
              top: -10000px;
              left: -10000px;
          }

And don't miss to add it to navibar in multiconfig. -- ReimarBauer 2007-03-01 07:41:26
