W3C Working Draft
In response to this 'Inaccessibility of Visually-Oriented Anti-Robot Tests Problems and Alternatives' paper.
I will comment this paper folowing the table of content
About : the problem : a false sense of security
Right, the value of a simple visual verification is low, but the value of a global anti robot system is very high.
About : A hierarchy of needs
About : privilege
I don't think this one adds value to the paper : implementing security or preserving privilege for certain user are synonym.
Security without privilege is useless, preserving privilege implies implementing security.
I'll forgot this one.
About : identity and humanity
My opinion on those two notion is that they are orthogonal.

This concerns two very different problems and thus should be treated as is.
