1. I attended Web Directions 2006 [1] a couple of weeks ago and most of
the speakers that I listened to mentioned (or discussed in some detail)
the issue of accessibility in reference to their topic. It seems that
standards and accessibility definitely go hand-in-hand these days.

2. WRT universities and accessibility, there is a week of workshops and
conference coming up in Australia later this year - Pathways 8 [2]

3. Most Australian universities have accessibility policies [3]
