have you ever seen a house with a huge sign on it: "This
house is standards compliant"?
No, but washing machines, fridges and cars are all now displaying
stickers that advise of their efficiency in terms of an industry
and government agreed star rating scheme.
Maybe we need a content vs page weight ratio measurement with star
ratings to emphasise the greater efficiency of standards based
page/site creation?
A better way to force the implementation of Accessibility standards
would be to set up a group, or just urge disabled people, to sue
companies and web hosts who serve inaccessible sites. Once people and
customers realize that getting it wrong will cost them, I'm sure that
they will soon mend their ways.
