Well, there were two issues here.
First, Jim Gammon's link was killed by this stupid list's insertions of
multiple equal signs. So, take those out and the multi-line link should
work as I have pasted below.
The second problem is Gene Fleeman's wording of the petition. He says audio
or tactile buttons. On a lot of appliances, this will mislead a
manufacturer into thinking that just having a tactile feature will suffice.
Nothing could be further from the truth when operating the more
sophisticated appliances like microwaves, surround-sound receivers, advanced
washer and dryers, etc. that have menus that need to be read. In my
opinion, it should have stated that any item that relies on a display
incorporate a way to read that information audibly.
