What Yahoo! are delivering here is a really outstanding example of putting the #WAI-ARIA and other #HTML #accessibility techniques to very good use. WAI-ARIA has previously been deployed mainly in some enterprise/intranet or specialized public sections and gained limited exposure.

Yahoo! Mail, along with the very accessible rich search interface, is a very good example of an all-inclusive, accessible, web application approach that puts others to shame that suggest to turn off their standard interface and use a basic one if one uses a screen reader. Needless to say, that basic interface is then severely limited in functionality. Or the same company that suggests to turn off their instant feature if one uses a screen reader, or search results might no longer be really accessible. Yahoo! are taking an inclusive design approach here that to my knowledge is unparalleled among big stock holder web app companies.
