Very much worth noting:

Target settles a class action under Title III of ADA with the National  
Federation of the Blind for having an inaccessible site; in particular  
for having links that screenreaders couldn't understand.

Now this isn't the same as winning in court (no firm precedent etc),  
but it's good news for those of us who have been impressing  
accessibility on clients (in my case, for nearly 10 years....).

Cheers
Martin
