Re: FW: Revision to Web Accessibility Policy

I find it interesting that an institution that has
such a strong reason to make a web site accessible
should 'choose' this level of conformance.
One of the things that I have been thinking hard about
is 'If people want to do accessibility what is in it
for them to aim for anything higher than the 'lowest
level'?'
Pulling together a couple of ideas mooted by Al Gilman
in this post [1] and myself in this post [2].
Perhaps we should be borrowing from the experience in
other 'disability domains' when considering
conformance.
The most obvious one would appear to be building
(bricks and mortar) accessibility?
