It is possible to write up a set of standards (maybe principles) for
text-based pages (even with the changing standards). I would be very
careful in using tables and frames (these don't always translate well in
lynx) and the "alt" option in img tags. This is what first comes to mind.

About whether we should write this up? I feel that the need is much
greater than the orange group. Perhaps, this kind of document could be
posted University wide?
