We shouldn’t feel obliged to take the RNIB seriously on web accessibility. Having dealt with them directly it’s clear that many of their recommendations are made up on the spot according to the whim and preference of whoever’s in charge that day. Worse, much of their advice is questionable or worse plain wrong. Although the RNIB is the predominent charity in one form of disability it doesn’t mean they know their business on web accessibility as well as they pretend, but it is a very good earner for them to suggest that they do.
