I am not opposed to accessability at all, but what is at question here is not that accessability is enherently a bad thing but rather that enforcement of certain standards upon the internet commerce community is constitutionally sound. I reviewed the caselaw sited in the memo and It would seem that there is a clear mandate for a compilation of a legislative record on this as is suggested in the memorandum. I would not wish to see entities sued over the issue of internet accessability, at the same time however, I would not wish to see our hard won accessability squashed before it really begins. I will follow and be interested in the outcome of any proceedings on this. I'd like to site one place to look for information that can provide insite into what we are attempting to achieve with regard toaccessability which has been around and working hard since before all this started. http://www.anybrowser.org -- Hands-On Technolog(eye)s ftp://ftp.clark.net/pub/poehlman http://poehlman.clark.net mailto:poehlman@clark.net voice 301-949-7599 end sig.
