Another term? Why? Anyway, both have the user at the core, which I
think is fine. I just don't see the site owner at the core, as Peter
suggests.

enough work to do on findability that it merits its own hexagon. 

Granted, but findability and accessibility are still subsets of
usability. If you think of these three terms as menu choices, would
you use them on a website? Probably not.

Perhaps not - but they seem to be getting their message out and
across anyway. More's the pity. I just don't see desirable as a key
facet.

Peter, do you want to share what your Canadian client suggested?

Cheers,
Eric
