I would suggest that instead of implementing a poor 'middle' ground for these issues, it might be prudent to target the needs in an orthodox manner.

That said, it would seem to make sense to target the fundamental theme at a larger percentage group. Demographics are an unfortunate reality in this circumstance. It would seem logical that someone with motor impairment not be forced to use a medium 'middle' ground window control in OSX, or colour impairment be forced to use the palette of the default view.

Reality would obviously dictate that these such needs are quickly (in an ideal world ;) ) overcome by specific design semantics for each particular facility.

I personally believe that if we can make it a mandate to acknowledge this, and begin designing Ubuntu centric design patterns for those elements, we would probably further the cause.

The simple act of attempting to aim for "universal" access is, in my opinion, watering down our attempts at strictly addressing the needs of the many individuals who require a diligent and well planned design strategy to facilitate their computing.

Do you know of any wiki pages established to tackle these sorts of issues Henrik?
