The WSJ site is a by-registration-only site, and free only for a limited trial period. But articles like this would be very good to have in our portfolio of evidence. The idea I have toyed with at times is for the W3C to seek permission to mirror selected articles like this on the WAI site. This makes them visible to people not subscribed to WSJ or after the publishing paper has retired the article from their site. Perhaps I should explain the connection between investor info and accessibility. The same problem of learning who is behind a website, in terms of business accountability, affects people pressing claims of inaccessibility as it affects investors looking for the next wave. To get companies to stand behind their public Web information, we need to cooperate with the investor interest. Not try to go it alone.
