Just came across some interesting EU pages (excuse me if I refer to
well-known documents, but I didn't know if they really are that popular), e.g. the
Web Accessibility Policy [1], which I perceive laudable but outdated anyway.
And I had to smile encountering
'A "Level A" conformance logo appears on some (top level) EUROPA
pages [...] However, in spite of continuous efforts to monitor these
pages, full "Level A" compliance cannot be guaranteed at all times.'
while keeping in mind the logo use condition [2]
'[...] and either re-reviews the page or removes the logo from
the page if they are unsure whether it still meets a specified
conformance level.'
-- Nevertheless, there is also a more or less comprehensive statement for
public site accessibility [3], also available as PDF [4] -- where I question
'adoption of the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Guidelines for public Web
sites by the end of 2001' ;)
Well, only by the way --
Jens.
