Thanks for all your comments. I think I have a clearish conscience about my visually-impaired readers (if I have any) but the remark about avoiding tedious prefaces will be noted. I wonder if non-visual browsers have a workable text-searching facility (I bet their users would appreciate it) ? Tom Brough mentioned :

I think this could indeed be of some use : but is this standard honoured or recognised anywhere at all outside UK Government circles ? Moreover is the distinction between "home" and "index/front" pages widely understood ? and if it isn't, is there any point in associating a specific key with "home", as indicated in the above document ? ( To me, home is a property of the client, the page your browser will display if started with no URL specified ; index or front a property of the server, the page of a site that will be delivered to the client if the latter does not specify a particular page. But I think (nay, know) that many people are loose with these terms. ) If this is off-topic, maybe someone will refer me to a more appropriate forum. -- John Palmer Preston near Weymouth, Dorset, England e-mail: johnp@xxxxxxxxxx (plain text preferred) website: http://www.palmyra.uklinux.net/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
