<< Has Chuck Opperman showed them to anybody on the FrontPage, etc. teams? >> I am reviewing the material on behalf of all the HTML generators at Microsoft, including FrontPage. That product team is well aware of accessible design principles and I meet with them regularly about the accessibility of the product and the content it creates. The next version, FrontPage 2000, already available in beta, shows improvements in key areas of the HTML generated. Please let me know if you have any concerns about the accessibility of any Microsoft product.

Their utility, however must be judged by their audience, which most of us are not. Are we getting more potential users of them into our fold? Has Chuck Opperman showed them to anybody on the FrontPage, etc. teams? Did Loren ask others at SoftQuad for comments? Did T.V. Raman bring them to the attention of Adobe (who just acquired a major toolworks)? Have the CAST people been brought to bear on the relationship between Bobby and the website generators? Etc., etc.? For me, specific comments would be completely vain but it is clear that the main points are included and there is a nice "intelligence" about the entire undertaking, but will the dogs eat it? -- Love.
