" WL:: Of course this is exactly the kind of "tread lightly" issue that we *must* grip on both this (ig) list and in Education & Outreach. Judy is quite well aware of its importance and one thing she mentioned at the face2face was that there is in the E & O a sense of "inreach" as well. Many of us work for the companies in question and are actively seeking accessibility goals but we need lots of support and ammo. Politically and strategically it may be more useful (and comfortable) for webwatch to put that pressure (again the recommend/demand dichotomy rears its beautiful head) so Ree's idea of a WAI seal of approval might be more believable if it were a webwatch citation. Since Bobby's logo is a British policeman... The man from CAST might consider having a non 4-star site show the author in jail! Just kidding, David. -- Love.
