Hi Paul, OK, I'm not at my best first thing in the morning <g>, but in whose interest is it to point out the inaccuracies? > As it stands now, this will cause confusion among those who are just > getting into accessibility (heck, even the ones who've been at it for quite > a while). I think it is more confusing for Judy to contradict the findings. I think that she would be better off congratulating the DRC on the study and raising awareness and then point out where people can go to find out more about the WAI. > But what's the alternative ? Have the W3C silently agreeing to > something they don't believe is factually correct, just to show a united front ? I think yes. From what I understand of it, the report is intended to highlight the lack of awareness and to promote awareness. To a certain degree the details are irrelevant at that level. > For what it's worth, I didn't find the tone of Judy's email negative...simply > giving the W3C's view...but maybe I'm missing some nuances here... I suppose it comes down to who received Judy's release. If it was just targeted at people who are already aware of the various issues and might have noticed the inaccuracies of the report, then fine. However if it was targeted at the national press, who aren't really interested in the details, just the story, it does come over as being negative at detracts from the report.
