<smile> I personally do not have a problem with the name, but do not be surprised if some do. The Linux Gazette has a link for downloading an entire issue which is called "twdt" for "the whole damn thing" and they get flak for that! I am nervous about a special version for the blind though. My nervousness is related to the fallacy that separate is equal. In the past there have been special versions of word processors, of spread sheets, of comm programs, etcetera, all based on the theory that they could be fine tuned and maximized for a special population, and in each case they have stagnated while their mainstream counterparts continued on a course of development. Once again I am sharing your post with the speakup list since my views may not be representative.
