My point of view is that MSIE's are widely distributed, and if there is a chance of a "disastrous result" that involves locking the user's browser or system, then it shouldn't be "recommended" to provide web access to disabled folks, unless you can be somewhat certain that MSIE 3 users don't include disabled folks. Otherwise, it seems you defeat the purpose of the guidelines. >Let's try to identify and promote techniques of writing valid CSS >which shields that experimental browser version. I'm coming in late on this discussion, but shouldn't that have been done before CSS was included in the guidelines? Or was CSS developed specifically to incorporate all guidelines? Is CSS the only way to incorporate all the guidelines, or, as Rob suggests, are there other ways to achieve the same goal? Anne Anne L.
