Harry and Andrew are both on the mark. Web and print are different, though similar mediums. And accessibility isn't /bandied about/ in the U.S. as much as some of us would like. In fact, if you go beyond Web design circles and outside of the public sector, no one really seems to care if their Web site is accessible. I wish that this were not the case, but it seems just so.
