I am grateful for your candid comments, and would like you to know that your message is a heartbreaker. Speaking as an individual who is trying to reconcile display in existing browsers with HTML and CSS as presented in W3C Recommendations, I would like to try, and see other people try to show you how the W3C home page might be transformed. May I have your permission to re-write the tags and send a test URI to this list in a day or two? This experiment might fall flat on its face. On the other hand, a quick look at the HTML in the W3C home page found unused CSS in HEAD, I and B where EM and STRONG make sense, and no need for a TABLE or CSS, thus it seems to be a candidate for HTML 4.0 Strict. > This sounds like a lot to me, but somehow, we've never received much > of a complaint about our home page being inaccessible. How can we > explain that ? This is a good question. I have read more than once about the W3C site in Usenet complaints. One thought is it needs a lot of improvement and accessibility is a fairly new criteria, one of many. (Speaking for my site, mea culpa.) -- Susan Lesch Mac Virus http://www.macvirus.com/
