exercise

If we all "attacked" an effort to follow our own recommendations and
reported the results to the group it might help craft our document?

For openers let's take the scenario that I am a screen reader user and
want to find information on the ratings of various mutual funds and go
to <http://morningstar.com/>. Let us further say that some area is
found that uses a graphic to provide information, in this case a
number of "stars" to indicate ratings and let's say that there are no
alt-tags for those ratings.

Given that we have found instances of inaccessibility because of
alt-tag absence, try to find who to point this out to. I couldn't find
any "contact" info for the site itself, only contacts are for aspects
of their service. I emailed the customer service address and asked
them to point me to who was responsible for the site's accessibility
but so far no answer.

I imagine that not even having a link to who's responsible for
creating/maintaining the site certainly violates the spirit of WCAG
even if there's no requirement for their anonymity to be "pierceable".

Anyway, if we actually try this exercise, we will feel some of the
frustrations that doing what we recommend bring on.

Love.
