I think one of the best things to come from all this was the near- universal agreement on both sides of the issue that accessible web design -does- matter and -should- be a priority in order to ensure the growth of e-commerce. Informed minds may differ on the specifics of how best to implement that (I feel that the ADA, sadly, -will- be necessary in some cases), but I am glad there is common ground we can all stand on to get the message before the lawmakers and other powers-that-be. -- Kynn Bartlett mailto:kynn@hwg.org President, HTML Writers Guild http://www.hwg.org/ AWARE Center Director http://aware.hwg.org/
