The fact that a shitty user-experience can be overcome is no excuse to go ahead and build it.

- ianb 16y agoIt's not just that it can be overcome, but it must be overcome. We each must look at these expressions as they are made, and infer what is intended by them -- it may be more awkward for a blind person, but understanding "greater than" is not fundamentally different from seeing > and inferring the meaning (though you'll lack the visual queue of an arrow-like symbol). The article doesn't actually point to any better user experience, it just imagines one might be possible as a screen reader might be able to use his notion of "semantically correct markup" better than Google's -- even though Google is one of the only serious implementations paying attention to specifically breadcrumb-related markup.
