RE: LIFT Text Transcoder

That's one update I'll look forward to reading since I'm also a JD and am
still an active member of the California Bar even if I no longer live in
that state.

Bob,
You are very welcome.  By the way, an updated version of our book -
"Constructing Accessible Web Sites" - is expected to be published this
summer by Apress that includes further information about this U.S. issue.
It also includes an entire chapter devoted to my research on accessible web
design laws and policies around the world.  I have identified at least 25
countries that have adopted accessible web design as law or policy and
discuss the implementation of these efforts.  It was very interesting to
find the various quality marks, badges or labels being utilized  - not to
mention the civil and/or criminal liabilities that have been legislated!

Sincerely,

Cynthia Waddell

   and Accessibility for North America,
