enhanceability.com accessibility portal
welcome to the enhanceability.com accessibility portal!
some areas of the web site remain under development. many pages are subject to content and web-address updates.
about the web site reorganization
enhanceability.com is now reorganized with xht(ml) filetyping to improve web browsing, and also to present content more accessibly to certain mobile or handheld device platforms.
many of the earlier web site documents that were named with an 'html' extension have been replaced with new documents that are now named with a standard 'xht' extension for XHTML 1.1 doctype documents. these new enhanceability.com documents can be displayed correctly with a modern browser that can render markup coded to internet standards for XHTML and CSS.
this document is an XHTML 1.1 document with an 'html' file extension that enhanceability.com has determined can be viewed by most if not all popular modern XHTML browsers. however many other files on this site are now built with the new and improved 'xht' file extension.
browsing the new areas of this site
as an accommodation, this 'index.html' placeholder page is provided as a link to the reorganized filetype(xht) areas of this web site. web site content can also be provided in alternative formats for parties with specialized needs upon request.
as web standards further develop, and as browsers further improve, this web site can be rendered best with a recent- or current-version modern XHTML and CSS-ready browser.
those using a legacy browser (pre-XHTML) can select from a growing number of XHTML browsers that can be obtained at no charge from various third-parties.
design notes
design notes is an XML syndication of selected features from the enhanceability.com web site. subscription to the syndicated content channel at 'http://www.enhanceability.com/x/0.xml', or from a free content aggregator, is free.
this content channel is also provided as an accommodation to readers who use browsers that do not recognize the XHTML and CSS markup (XHTML 1.1 CSS 2.x, dotXHT) that is built into the enhanceability.com web site. however many modern XHTML and CSS browsers; such as Opera, Safari, and Firefox; are available at no charge from various third parties.

why is a filetype(xht) useful for web users and developers?
from a web usability standpoint, there are many common user tasks for which a 3 character 'xht' file extension is more readily usable than a 5 character 'xhtml' file extension. users who use a touch type screen rather than a full-sized keyboard, or who paste a URL, can benefit from a more readily usable file name extension such as 'xht'.
XHTML documents do not need to run the larger legacy HTML instruction sets used by legacy HTML and thus can be rendered by modern XHTML browsers more efficiently in comparison to legacy HTML documents. XHTML 1.1 documents are moreover more interoperable with the widely-used XML standards for structuring information.
CSS standards make possible a more efficient presentation of structured content in terms of dedicated style rules.
