It has to be somehow enforced for it to have value. Clearly regulation of anything internet related is problematic due to its distributed nature. I'm not going to come up with a whole plan for this, I was just thinking of a way that the relative "goodness" of sites could be simply communicated to a non tech audience. I think the scheme (at least the implementation and enforcement) would be very impractical in the current online environment. -- Peter Williams ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
