Subject: Globalization for disabilities

Hello all,

A few months ago, I raised the issue of the next generation of software
internationalization, meaning that functionality and feature access would be
"componentized" so that it was modifiable during localization.

I have been asked to do some research on whether anyone out there is
expanding the concept of globalization to include support for people with
disabilities. Sometime recently there was a discussion on the Unicode list
about Braille, and so I am hoping that some list members may be dealing with
these issues.

Any referrals to experts or to available resources on this topic would be
appreciated.

Thank you.
