This is my position too; I think the guidelines are great as guidelines but the conformance section, and the implication that you should use ALL "shoulds" (P2) if you use ANY, is the part that is broken. I am okay with leaving the priorities where they are; I just think that the compliance section, which I admit I didn't pay attention to until it was too late, is the real problem here. It encourages entirely the wrong approach to the Guidelines and mandates things that were never meant to be mandated. -- Kynn Bartlett mailto:kynn@hwg.org President, HTML Writers Guild http://www.hwg.org/ AWARE Center Director http://aware.hwg.org/
