 <h3>Recommendations</h3>
 
 <p>Application software developers should learn how to use the
-accessibility features of the
-<acronym title="Integrated Development Environment">IDE</acronym> or
-toolkit they employ to build their user interface.  Programmers who
-need to implement access technology, or work on a desktop or OS-level
-accessibility problem, will need to understand the accessibility
-<acronym title="Application Programming Interface">API</acronym>, and
-should choose the one that is compatible with free OS/desktops.  These
-include the GNOME accessibility API (GNU/Linux platforms only), the
-Java accessibility API (GNU/Linux and Windows) and iAccessible2
-(GNU/Linux and Windows).</p>

-<p>Web developers should follow the guidelines at
-<a href="http://www.w3c.org/wai";>http://www.w3c.org/wai</a> and, for
-complex web applications, the developers should follow the Aria
-standard, also to be found at the World Wide Web Consortium web site.
-FANGS enables web developers to see how a screen reader will handle
-the web pages they are developing.  Nontrivial Javascript code
-distributed to the user should be free software
