That is another good point, I believe. Accessibility of a Website is part of its Usability. If blind users cannot understand the structure of a website, there is no way it is usable for them. If a user with cognitive disability cannot understand the content of a website, it is also not usable for him/her. By certifying usability you must therefore also certify accessibility. And that is a huge statement, considering all the individual groups of users with very specific needs that might access a website. Can anybody surely say: "This website is accessible to everybody no matter what requirements they have"? In particular "complex transaction sites and rich applications like internet banking, online travel booking, ERP and CRM systems" cannot be made accessible for everybody. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
