Tim Berners-Lee <http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/People/Berners-Lee/>
quoted in Technology Review, July 1996:
"Anyone who slaps a 'this page is best viewed with Browser X'
label on a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days,
before the Web, when you had very little chance of reading a
document written on another computer, another word processor, or
another network." -

[...] Press Relase 5 May 1999 -- The World Wide Web Consortium today
announced the release of the "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0"
specification as a W3C Recommendation. [...]

"The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines explain what to do," said
Tim Berners-Lee, Director of W3C. "It has always been difficult to
know, when making a site more accessible, which changes are critical.
These guidelines answer that question, and set common expectations so
that providers of Web sites and users can be much more strategic. The
bar has been set, and technologically it is not a very high bar. Some
of the items in these guidelines will be unnecessary once authoring
tools do them automatically. Now it is time to see which sites can
live up to this."
All the best,
Bjorn
