I've listened to the whole thing and learned some good
usability/accessibility stuff.  Also some errors that many people find are
'minor' are really annoying for screen readers, like untitled image links,
untitled pages,... Some things become obvious when you hear this.  It
certainly will change my way of working a bit.

We've been going over this subject some time before.  It's the first time
however I hear how it works.  Really interesting.
