[IxDA Discuss] Meaningful labels

[Bill DeRouchey]

Gil,

Your link is quite timely for me. I recently wrote about buttons as 
referenced in the original 1984 Human Interface Guidelines. So thanks for 
the pointer to look at the 1996 HIG.

It's not quite research, and definitely off-topic on labeling, but it's a 
tangent.

(Apologies for the self-link.)

Bill
