> I maybe a newbie to the group but I am very concerned about the ** growing reinterpretation of the Guidelines as Standards. There are lots ** of standards out there, which are very important and useful and the One reason for this is that there are lot of organisations out there with lawyers insisting that they have to be Accessible, but where the staff want to be safe by the letter of the law whilst doing as little as possible. They demand objective rules, compliance with which is testable, and which would not be subject to legal interpretation in court. They, therefore try and interpret rules that can only really be interpreted subjectively, as though they were precise and sufficient.
