The WCAG document was never intended (in my understanding of the process) to be used as a _legal document_ in the way in which it is used. There are more "loopholes" (as Marti has identified) than the Florida election statutes! This is why I believe that these _guidelines_ are always going to be subject to interpretation. If we really intend for them to be _legally enforceable_ than the current method of creating the WCAG guidelines is woefully inadequate. At the very least we should have teams of lawyers reviewing every word written. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://www.kynn.com/
