David, > First, we ask the company not to want so much but to allow best > practices to be the guide. A laudable aim, which I have tried many times to fulfil, with more, or often less, success. But anyone who's designing web sites commercially can only suggest, not dictate, and in my experience, many project sponsors are far more motivated by what *they* see (however misguidedly) as good design rather than proper semantic structure and good accessibility. All the designer can do is fiddle around behind the scenes to mitigate their poor decisions with best practice (as far as is possible without losing the contract) and hacks.
