MS only e-government

[Antti.Roppola at brs.gov.au]

AFAIK, all government web sites must be navigable
in a text only mode so that vision impared people
are able to use them. This requirement doesn't
extend to private sites:

	http://www.finance.gov.au/accessibility.html

I think this is probably a stronger mandate for open
online apps. For example, how can a visually impared
user pipe output from a custom, Win32 only app into
their text reader?

Cheers,

Antti

Talking about alternate standards, I was today trying to surf a website that
was Lynx unfriendly was all gfx with no alt tags. I think there should be
more support for other OS's around out and about. I think this will change
