Ken, thanks for sharing this with everyone! Here is what is going on: 1. We are slowly incorporating universal design and have much code to replace. So please know that we are working on it. The U.S. Mint site is a very large and complex site with many major programs and an e-commerce site that just posted a two million dollar day on 18 October. If you find thing that needs to be fixed or areas that can be improved, please let me know directly. We are making the list (not for holiday shopping) but for a major redesign next year that will incorporate universal dsign from the beginning. 2. We are going back and finding missing ALT tags and descriptions and adding no scripts. 3. We really use Macromedia Flash and hope to have finalized soon with the Guidelines group the technique on how to make Macromedia Flash accessible. 4. Around the 17th of this month we will be adding a Business to Business site that will be in compliance with many of the guidelines. 5. We are just now ramping up with people and are starting to train people on how to universal design requirements. This will take a while to get everyone up to speed, however we are committed to universal design.
