Roberto, Conformance to ATAG is definitely not off topic for this list. Since this appears to be the first regulation dealing with conformance to ATAG, I wanted to ask a couple clarifying questions: I was under the impression that a committee from the Ministry of Innovation and Technology still had 120 days to develop the actual technical standards. Does that committee have to include compliance to ATAG 1.0, or only consider it as input into in their standards? In other words could they omit it because, for example, they couldn't find any commercially available authoring tools that comply? Or could they, for example, include provisions to adopt ATAG 2.0 when it becomes available with some sort of a fast path review instead of adopting ATAG 1.0? Ciao, Phill Jenkins, IBM Accessibility Services >Sorry for this OT question, but today in Italy there was the approvation >of the law for web accessibility that will receipt the eEurope2002 >directives that ask also conformity to ATAG 1.0.
