The thing is, it really should be, but right now, there aren't many laws written that protect much of what occurs online (read as: none). Sometimes I am glad thats the case however. I bet everyone around here has a website thats still alive and kicking on the Net filled with nested layout tables and nonsemantic HTML. What if all of a sudden, you have to fix those evil mistakes because a law is introduced that says you have to? And if you don't, you go to jail? But then again, who is accountable when that building you built collapses in a pile of rubble solely because you forgot a few important bricks? As time goes by, websites will probably become so intrinsically linked to our existence that it would be catastrophic to be without access to the services or information they provide. When that day comes, and God help us, we will expect and demand access for everyone. Fair nuff. For now though, I get by when the Internet Banking servers are down and I fire up my copy of Parallels and Windows XP to run a Windows application to lodge my Tax return. Just as I believe it's entirely possible blind people will surf to another website because "this one is crap". It's only a mouse click after all - if they can use a mouse that is, maybe its some other assistive technology. Speaking of Microsoft, AHHH another big company to bash, does anyone else find it strange that no one has sued them for the countless hours lost to the incompatibilities of IE? I have a few years owing by reckoning...
