Hi Xavier, Re. users with vision loss: They need a screen reader (Emacspeak provides that) or a magnifier utility. But why do they also need beep-on-error? I started a thread at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.emacspeak.general today to ask if they really need it. And if they do need it, remember they're in the minority. Will they truly mind searching online to learn how to enable it? Re. searching online and reading the documentation: Users don't want to waste time on that. They want to spend their time getting things done. Let's make Emacs an editor for getting things done. -Jason
