It seems to me that blasting companies -because- they've chosen to make improvements doesn't really encourage them to make positive steps forward. Now, I'm not saying that incomplete efforts should be overlooked in the name of good intentions (just ask the WCAG 1.0 document), but I think that it's premature to run an attack piece against Macromedia at this time. The questions asked in part two are legit and should be asked, but the assumption that Macromedia is going to screw it up seems pretty unfounded at this time. At the very least, let's see what kind of product they ship after having time to digest these and other issues. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://www.kynn.com/
