Bravo !
We americans tend to forget what access really means. As a case study, try
going
over some of the absurdities involved in implementing the relatively new ADA,
or
Americans With Disabilities Act. Small businesses have been hurt or destroyed
in the attempt to comply, as well as the glut of frivolous lawsuits in the
courts
over the scramble to modify workplaces and other sites to accomodate a growing
number of vague disabilities.
This is NOT to say I retain an unsympathetic position regarding those who have
disabilities.
This is to say that the only really sensible cure is time. Allowing
Technology to
solve this problem NOT IN THE IMMEDIACY, but over time. And not by bowing
the backs of those many who have small pocketbooks who fear their sites would
be disbanded to suit the needs of the few who feel the need to "cripple" the
web
by crying "foul" over accessibility.
