[gui-talk] inaccessibility of www.cstv.com/allaccess

[Mike Freeman]

One person's gravy is another's dross. there are plenty who would figure 
that you could look up the scores whereas they can't drive.

I'm really not taking sides but there is more work to do than there are 
people to do it. I agree that Laney did a fine job with MLB (I helped her 
squash some bugs) and I agree that Flash can be made accessible. But in the 
Windows world, there's no real way to enforce accessibility standards short 
of lawsuits.

Just one person's $0.02-worth.

Mike
