Maybe they could be in a position, probably they're not. Microsoft is in a better position to dictate these terms, as is anyone else who offers a certification of any kind related to web development. Do those include accessibility? If so, then you may have a point that "professional standards" currently include accessibility. If not, then I think we are deluding ourselves by claiming that it's gross negligence to not follow WCAG. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain http://idyllmtn.com Web Accessibility Expert-for-hire http://kynn.com/resume January Web Accessibility eCourse http://kynn.com/+d201 Forthcoming: Teach Yourself CSS in 24 Hours
