Just to get a bit to "practicality" into this - There is a fairly typical 'web company' I deal with a lot. Most of their designers know some HTML but still use things like Dreamweaver for most tasks. They can be convinced to consider accessibility occasionally when it doesn't interfer too much with the visual layout or slow them down. They are about to start the design on a new website, I would like to encourage them to start using XML. The question is: what tools are available right now to help them? Just to complicate matters - more than half of the designer/developer platforms are MacIntosh and the management has this odd preference for NN. To get anywhere we need to get people DOING IT, for that we need a clear path and some good rationale for changing methods that 'always worked before'. Marti
