At the moment, first party creation would indicate someone who cared about accessibility and therefore probably already had a site with good accessibility. I can't see commercial sites spending any effort at all on creating descriptions of their site, especially as it goes against the principle that all marketing material must be in positive tersm. First party rating under duress is likely to produce very liberal interpretations of anything subjective - how many RSACi rated sites claim anything but s0, l0, n0, v0 (I concede that one or two might actually bother to claim maximums on everything). -- --------------------------- DISCLAIMER --------------------------------- Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of BTS.
