+1, and that discipline must be maintained for every list with a bit of 
flexibility.

Besides, there are many other questions which are not related to screen 
readers of speech synthesizers at all, yet related to accessibility.
For example a blind user might not be able to do some thing because the 
documentation for that task is either inaccessible or does not give the 
correct information.
So that user may ask such a question on such a list.

I can right away give one instance, if all promos not to drift away.
I was just trying to find an off line version of the html dom2 
specification because I have to do a bit of javascripting some times.  I 
see that the w3c site does not have an offline version available, unless 
i am mistaken.
Besides, some pages are not properly accessible with Orca.
Now this would be totally off topic, but related to accessibility 
because if the person was sighted, such a question would not have come.
