[thelist] acces-board.gov - is this a joke?

I'm currently working on a page about JavaScript and accessibility (will 
notify the list when it's ready), and visited http://www.access-board.gov/, 
which at first sight appears to be the site of the US board concerned with 
accessibility issues.

What do we see on the homepage? A bloody JAVA APPLET which contains the main 
navigation, and no trace of an alternative navigation.

Is this a joke? Are these just comedians pretending to be the US Access 
Board? Or am I missing something here?

For the moment I decided not to trust anything on that site (and some of the 
rules are very weird).
