This is a fact finding day, not a technology showcase. I agree that
WAI-ARIA is the way forward, but I disagree that it is fundamental to
making script accessible. Easy YouTube doesn't use WAI-ARIA yet and
works fine with screen readers.

I deliberately chose not to have technical speakers as I want to
confront the hackers in the audience with the human issues to find
solutions for, not a purely technical challenge. The screen reader
presentation however will show some WAI-ARIA solutions we use in Yahoo.

The US installment of Scripting Enabled will be more technical, I suppose.
