Re: FYI: Why Web Standards Matter

I forwarded a copy of the recent analysis/validation note to Carrie with 
commiserations and the suggestion she send it along to the Library 
Journal and the company responsible for the "Powered by" logo in the 
left-hand margin.

These content management systems can be a real challenge in terms of 
standards and accessibility. In addition, all parties have so much 
vested in the "solution" in terms of money, ego and status, that the 
message tends not to be one they want to hear.
