Stseve, >.I'm walking a fine line - or traversing a locus in highly dimensional >space - here, between your not succeding. >(1) Real accessibility - 'inclusive design' as I have branded it as in parsing the guidelines for only the letter and not the spirit of the guideline? >(2) Covering My Client's Ass in the event of being accused of neglecting it as a technologist or as a lawyer? >(3) Meeting My Client's Self-Imposed Measuring-Stick (i.e. my client has stated its pages will be WAI-AA compliant) while I can recommend a slackening of that stricture, it is still the policy at this time and so I have to educate the authors accordingly. You educate or have TO BE EDUCATED? >(4) Not winding up the web authors to the point where they decide they don't >want to bother at all. I won't be asked back, WAI-AA won't be met, and >Accessibility will suffer a PR blow as people decide it's just too much.
