                        <p>This document provides guidelines for designing user agents that lower barriers to Web
accessibility for people with disabilities (visual, hearing, physical,
cognitive, and neurological). User agents include HTML browsers and other types
of software that retrieve and render Web content. A user agent that
conforms to these guidelines will
promote accessibility through its own user interface and through other internal
facilities, including its ability to communicate with other technologies
(especially assistive technologies).
Furthermore, all users, not just users with disabilities, should find
conforming user agents to be more usable.</p>
                        <p>In addition to helping developers of HTML browsers and media players, this
document will also benefit developers of assistive technologies because it
explains what types of information and control an assistive technology may
expect from a conforming user agent. Technologies not addressed directly by
this document (e.g., technologies for braille rendering) will be essential to
ensuring Web access for some users with disabilities.</p>
