[MACCAWS] RE: judges' ruling

imagine this is the first step moving that way however. I think a
precedent is set by this judge that says "we need to spec this out
more." So maybe now that process will get started. I think it would
be a good thing to have clearly defined rules and specs for sure."

"October 15, 2002
A federal judge ruled that the Atlanta mass transit agency violated the ADA
by constructing a website that was inaccessible for people with visual
disabilities. This is one of the first cases to decide that the ADA requires
online access for people with disabilities."
