Webkit, the HTML rendering engine that powers Safari and many other components of the Mac OS, has recently completed a number of key bug fixes and enhancements where regards accessibility. While these are very technical, we are providing some information and links below, as we believe these fixes will lead to dramatically improved accessibility in Safari and other applications under Mac OS X. As some links below show, Apple has developers contributing to the open source project themselves to address accessibility issues.

    Here’s hoping this means we’ll get full access to the ITunes music store sooner rather than later. So far, I’ve just been buying albums by paying for each individual song, which makes me pay a dollar or two more–big deal–but it would be nice to just add it to the cart like sighted users do. To say nothing of renting movies and such.
