I dunno about the "rest of us" but it's very encouraging to see this kind of progress being touted as Important in an age when still most web designers are completely unaware that It Matters. So while we could certainly find reason to be critical of what they might or might not have done, I do applaud the idea behind the news story and the fact that it is considered Important Enough to be news. Now I'm looking forward to the day when this is NOT news and accessibility is taken for granted...someday, I promise you, we WILL get there. -- Kynn Bartlett mailto:kynn@hwg.org President, HTML Writers Guild http://www.hwg.org/ AWARE Center Director http://aware.hwg.org/
