Re: Accessible counter

They seem to use Javascript to insert the counter, so it won't work 
with Lynx, or for secure users - their trick is to use an external 
script file as the insertion.  You could probably try similar tricks
with style sheets - this won't work with Lynx; the simplest way won't
work with IE; and the counter will not be semantic content, so will
only be there in the rendering.  The script trick will not count
non-scripting accesses.

They also get the sample HTML fragment wrong, as they fail to encode the
&'s in the href parameter!  (The source of their instructions page should
include &cl= etc, because one level of processing will happen when
the sample is displayed, and one level when the sample is used in anger.)
