While I also fully agree with this (I guess I'd have to +1000 it), it remains a good question snce there will mot likely ALWAYS be more incomptent web authors than there will be comptenent ones. Not just because people don't read the specs in our field, but because in every trade, for every people that excel at what they do, there is an army of others who just don't care enough to dig a little deeper than what is expected from them. So, maybe, just maybe - and whether we like it or not - cleaning up the web has to go through simplifying the tool we put in the developer's hands. -- Denis Boudreau, Directeur WebConforme / AccessibilitéWeb 1751 rue Richardson, bureau 3.501 Montréal (Qc), Canada H3K 1G6 Téléphone : +1 514-448-2650 Télécopieur : +1 514.667.2216 dboudreau@webconforme.com blackberry@webconforme.com http://www.webconforme.com/ ======// À méditer //======= Les choses changent plus lentement que l’on pense.
