And, more to Karen Lewellen's point, Chrome OS has to provide better
accessibility than standard Linux distros as it's used and specified in
many school districts and backed by a commercial entity that can be
sued. It's deeply unfortunate, but accessibility only moves forward
through the threat of legal action. The US Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) has teeth, but who can be sued for Linux?
