Hi all!
When already doing this work of reworking the backend maybe we can 
integrate BE accessibility on the way?
Given, AJAX and accessibility don't match very well, but perhaps some 
kind of fallback is possible?

Hardly any of the other CMS solutions is providing an accessible 
backend, so this would be a nice plus for typo3. And it would be easier 
for impaired BE users to use the backend. :)

Yes!! This should also include impaired users who are "not as lucky" 
(use with care) as we are.

What do ya think?
