No, of course not. If there are special cases that needs consideration in a specific region, that *region* must cough up its own list of checkpoints that may or may not be derived from WAI WCAG. This is what Section 508 is all about, no? > Thankyou in advance. As far as I can see it, Funka Nu are not happy because they didn't get the contract (dealing with it in a very uncooth manner!), and the agencies tested are jumping on their bandwagon because they don't like being critizised. I read your original report with great interest and lots of laughs, and I know from my own similar experiences (albeit not official work) in the same field that your conclusions are quite correct. As one of the first in this field to lash out against poor WAI implementations, you are at the same time at risk of massive critisism because people - guilty or not - don't like to be criticised. You are not wrong; you are brave. Keep up the good work.
