Hello, This might be a bit off topic but since this issue has been raised, I would like to make a comment or two. *smile* So what are the benefits of having regulations on IT accessibility, especially if they are not followed? Well written guidelines and regulations would be worth following. If people are aware and willing to learn web accessibility, someone will need to guide them to the right direction. And that's where regulations come in. Then if you do have regulations on IT accessibility to be respected, should they be "punished" for not following the regulations? Please correct me if I am wrong but I heard they have to pay fine in Australia if they do not follow. It is sad for me to know that they have to "force" people to understand importance of accessibility and follow this kind of regulations. Well, just my point of view.
