Re: Jobs in Web Accessibility

More to the point, are there still jobs out there for people who don't kow
anything about accessible web design? (I guess there are, but it seems like a
bad idea to me - kind of like an architect who doesn't know how to put doors
into a building, and doesn't really think they're that important...)

There are a couple of places where people try to track accessibility-aware
web designers, but I don't have a URI off the top of my head.

  etc).
  
  Beyond those, is there much market for an accessibility-trained
  webmaster?  (I've had some questions from some of my students.)
