This is true, but as a writer and editor, I would rather not have to edit work around not being able to use punctuation that is appropriate to the content I am producing for the web site. I've been lurking for a week or so on this list, and unless I missed it, there hasn't been any mention of rewarding sites that do conform to WAI standards -- only ways to fix "bad" sites. Perhaps the carrot approach of letting appropriate sites display a "WAI-compliant" logo would encourage more content providers to ensure their sites are friendlier. Thoughts?
