I do hope this isn't the official ICANN view. I imagine that
a disability discrimination lawsuit would soon follow.

how many text-to-speech audio browsers support frames well?

Support for the disabled does seem to be a concern in some quarters;
for example, see

The secure registration page requires https, which isn't available in lynx
as far as I know.

I am wondering if it might make sense going forward to allow an email
submission.  Email is for the most part a queued delivery mechanism, so it
is not necessary for the user to resubmit an html form if the server is
busy.
