Hi Anne I like D also, (and you certainly can change) but does it help us with our goal? -- which is to make pages more accessible. Would a page be considered accessible if it just documented its accessibility - or lack of it? Isn't accessibility a measure of usability by people with disabilities, not just a measure of documentation of usability? Having said that -- I still see utility in D. Having people document what they have done may be a very effective way of getting them to improve it. It doesn’t meet our goal of defining what makes something accessible. But it could help to make it more accessible. Soooooooo. How do we deal with this....... A process guideline?

I like that option so much better than drawing a single line everyone has to hop to ...
