Not sure I'd agree with any of that. It doesn't so much limit what they can do, as whether they can get away with using totally clueless software to produce their pages. I wrote something about my take on the subject in the Help pages for the Accessibility Valet (<URL:http://valet.webthing.com/access/>). One point that seems relevant here is that whereas levels A and AA just require simple avoidance of gross stupidity, level AAA calls on the developer to be proactive in providing accessibility. -- Nick Kew
