<< Someone suggested that if the PAGL says not to use onMouseOver we could figure that intelligent web developers will ignore the guideline in valid curcomstances. Perhaps it would be better to assume that many readers of the guidelines will be naive on these issues, and that the guidelines should specify how the events can be used in a positive way and when they can be detrimental? >> I strongly disagree with this concept. If the guidelines contain cautions on things that designers will use anyway, or there is no reasonable way to work around, then the guidelines lose credibility and will be dismissed as not being up to date or practical.
