N2 - We demonstrate that the development and use of mark-up techniques specifying semantic-level information and the development of advanced browser systems for interpreting these mark-ups appropriately for users with different capabilities can help make universal access a reality. We give several examples of semantic-level tags and attributes and show how they facilitate universal access as well as potentially address other issues in web design such as validation. We describe at least one way that advanced browsers could process such tags. Finally, we outline steps that would be appropriate for developing such mark-up languages and incorporating them into advanced browsers. The use of semantic-level tags allows for universal access to be built in at the early stages of design rather than be tacked on at the end or, even worse, not provided at all.
