With respect Christopher, I think you're missing the point. To take your analogy further, it seems to me that making web designers <em>solely<em> responsible for dealing with accessibility is like telling architects they're off the hook with regard to ramps etc, and getting the decorators to carry the disabled into the buildings. . .
Until the ramps are built, we decorators do carry folk in and out, but the ultimate responsibility is with the architects, not us. And that often doesn't seem to be the case.

It has to be done because of the 'shortcomings" of my assistive technology, my wheelchair, that cannot climb stairs or levitate. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
