I think this is an important point - if you mean being too heavy handed ( To be clear, I am not making any accusation that anyone is), IMO, approach is really important, if not as important as having the correct coding languages, technology.. whatever. Accessibility has to be made easy. Easy to understand and easy to do. Any more issues for developers to deal with or convoluted code etc will possibly alienate them more from the cause of accessibility. Of course many will try to create accessible websites but many won't really _want_ to but maybe have to due to legislative pressure or various other sticks. > > [...] we could save it by demonstrating our expertise. Another good point, though I guess in this instance the demonstration of expertise is something that will come when we all know how the new HTML 5 spec will turn out. With that in mind, maybe thinking about to model HTML 5 so it can make the demonstration of that expertises easier would be a good angle. Josh
