I'm very serious about this -- I will gladly take up that battle, any day. Send them my way, phone, email, whatever... Building web sites (and specifically standards and acessibility) is not about memorizing rules, but about intelligent design decisions. The sooner a wider audience understands that (i.e., people outside our narrow slice of existence here on WSG and other groups), the better.
