Re: Legal Precedent Set for Web Accessibility

I am sure that there will be apeal after apeal trying to fight this.  But
for now it seems like a great victory.  I just don't understand how so many
people can have a problem with coding their webpages the correct way.  I
mentioned this at work today and got nothing but resistance from everyone
around, people need to get over the fact that they don't actually do their
job correctly, learn the correct way and quit being so defensive about it.
