Hello Phil - 

That website I mentioned that attempts to promote accessible
website designs for the sight impaired WWW users is: 

http://bobby.watchfire.com/bobby/html/en/index.jsp 

They have 'upgraded' the website considerably since I was there
the last time with an online validating program for single
webpages. My site map page failed miserably. 

The problem seems to be that 'Bobby' people are managers and
not actively involved in webpage design. The use of some common
practices in HTML code is considered problematic by Bobby's
validator. Even to the point of not wanting me to use specific
sizes for tables (boxes containing text) and other standard
practices that really are none of their concern nor would it
interfere in any way with the use by sight impaired users. 

WC3, another group, tries to control _all_ webpage designs for
impaired _and_ unimpaired users and can be a bit foolish in
their requirements as well. At least they try? 

I cannot accomodate their demands and cannot validate to their
'standards' but I am aware they exist and do read the
recommendations and attempt to accomodate them if/when I decide
it is doable. Best I can do for now. :-\
