Title
Proposal for a Structure Mark-Up Supporting Accessibility for the Next Generation (X)HTML-Standards
Abstract
The layout of most web pages consists of several logical blocks or page areas which reflect the global structure of the page content. The recommended and published standards HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 do not support an adequate global structuring in the mark-up which leads to accessibility and usability problems. The upcoming new standards HTML 5 and XHTML 2 introduce some structure mark-up. It is feared that this new mark-up does not improve the accessibility significantly due to the flexibility in applying it. This paper will critically examine this new structure mark-up regarding accessibility. Furthermore it proposes an alternative mark-up definition for the global page structure which should help to improve accessibility significantly.
