This is part of "section 508", and *all* web sites run by organizations that receive US government monies are supposed to comply with it. The government doesn't do a lot to enforce this, though. FWIW, the last time I checked, the question of whether or not a web site that wasn't covered by section 508 was covered by the ADA was still up in the air, hinging on whether or not a web site constituted a "public place" (but it's been a while since I checked). http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
