"Design for All" = "Universal Design"?

The site is interesting in that it doesn't really focus on "disability" 
at all. Until one reads the "partners" list the idea of this being 
oriented towards accessibility is (intentionally?) well-disguised.

In the U.S. we have adopted the stance of always somehow weaving 
"disability" into the fabric of Design. Perhaps there's a more accepting 
of "the handicapped" in Europe  than I had been led to believe?

The site is also quite abstract without linking to much.

Love.
