Ummm......... This attitude is prevalent and is becoming a huge barrier to those of us who want to encourage accessible design. What good is the work of developing guidelines if, ultimately, the people you're dependent upon to put them into practice think they're worthless? The biggest problem here is the waters are made muddy by the corporate internet who give out great sound bites yet ignore even the diluted solutions offered. Erm, any one heard what's happening with AOL and the NFB? The 12 months are up. We have in a few cases on this list, conflicts of interest, the corporate subscription list to the WAI reads in some cases as a who's who to inaccessible websites. I have questioned this privately before, and been given a reasonable answer. But define reasonable? I now ask publicly " If the WAI-IG credibility is an issue here, it may certainly be hampered by this list naming and shaming. How hampered is it when some contributors are funded by the corporate world, the very people ignoring those recommendations? I owe my soul to the company store............................................ Paul Davis (large cheques in excess of 1 followed by 6x0's to be sent to cancer research please............I may go away.) .........................................................I wait for the men in black. on the other hand, (he said lighting a cigarette) I may not............Writs to be sent to Paul Davis the address is on my web site.
