  Is it ? A mere cursory glance at the "homepage" presents me with a
  list of "Read more"'s. Am I the only one who uses tools that create
  summary lists of links in a document ? I don't think so.

  Besides which: accessibility isn't restricted to the blind. I could
  imagine that quite a few people would benefit from, for instance, a
  tool to extract and present paragraphs. That'll be hard on ITTATC's
  site - they don't seem to *have* any paragraphs - nor any headers.

  Yet another example of "Do as I say, not as I do" to show off for
  people wanting to learn about accessibility ?
