i dont agree - while efforts should be made to protect everyone, solutions that may only assist persons with full visual or audio capacitites shouldnt be tossed out just because they dont help everyone - i'm certain that hearing impared persons can more easily be "snuck up on" by a would be pick-pocket but that doesnt mean everyone else has to plug their ears. everyone's experience cannot be the same! user skins are a great idea and we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater because it may not be "accessible" to everyone.
