Hm. Actually, I also tried to underscore the importance of the
plugin: that it allows MA (and other public sector entities) to
satisfy accessibility demands *now*. I'm not strictly opposed to the
plugin; my concern lies in giving the thirsty undead blood
(undead=MSFT). I would love to learn more about the plugin, like its
license, how well it works, how it works, and so on, but I can stand
in line. Right now, I know virtually nothing, so can't make a real
judgement about it. I do know that writing a filter for MS
technology is not trivial.
BTW, I asked some qs. of Gary Edwards but he's been doubtless far too
pressed to respond. Still, it'd be great to have an interview of him
in which he can speak to the technology, the issues, and so on.
Ciao
Louis
