Re: General Exception for Essential Purpose

Ian,

First, thanks for summarizing your answer in two words ("yes ... yes") .

Now, you said that

2) It is better for designers and users to produce fewer sites that meet 
the needs of more users.
</quote>

Do you think there are any times when the benefit to the user of having one 
site instead of two should outweigh the desire of a web page designer to 
use a particular visual effect?   (E.g. a web page that presents township 
tax rates).

Whether it's desirable or  possible for us to write guidelines that 
accomplish this is another question.
