[Sigia-l] "close window" links in pop-ups

[Nam Loc]

Hello Andrés

I'm not too sure whether if there is any research into the
proposed question or not.

However my initial reaction would be that having a "close
window" link in the main body of text, greatly increases
accessibility, especially for the disabled who have to
assimilate the information of the website via a screen reader,
etc...

Besides having an extra method of doing things is not always bad
as it offers the user more option on how to do things.
