Unless the names are marked up individually as list-items, within a list, they are pretty much inaccessible to a screen reader users. The current markup is in an unbroken (no separating punctuation even) block within a paragraph). The whole paragraph is announced together without a sense of where one name ends and the next begins, and with no means to pause or review the names. Using list-items would enable a screen reader user to hear each name as a discrete entity, to pause the reading and to hear a name again, and even to hear the individual letters.

FreeCEN is using lists AFAIK.

A table would not be appropriate.

Is lists AFAIK different to the current presentation?

AlOneill commented 5 days ago

@nurifreembd I do not understand your question — unless it is AFAIK (= as far as I know) that I need to explain? Apologies for using the abbreviation and for not putting a comma after lists. I.e. "FreeCEN is using lists and list-items, as far as I know."

I believe that REG is still dumping the names in a paragraph, much the same as BMD. Which is why I said: The current markup is in an unbroken block (with no punctuation) within paragraph tags.
