Re: W3C Access for All

Hi Simon,

I know a bit about it. My director, Jutta Treviranus, was one of the 
co-leads on the IMS AccessForAll standard 
(http://www.imsglobal.org/accessibility/accmdv1p0/imsaccmd_oviewv1p0.html).

I think that the reason it is coming in through the "Ubiquitous Web 
Applications Working Group" is that personalization goes beyond 
accessibility-related characteristics.

Cheers,
Jan
