Hi Alan,
An excellent and all too often, IMO, ignored point!
I was building some eXtranet applications a while back to allow very
large
customer to track the orders (and shipments) they place with us. I was
terrified of the potential liability should one of those customers
employ
a alternatively-enabled person who might have trouble accessing _my_
site.
Whew! I'm still grateful to the folks here who helped me improve the
accessibility of that effort.
