Re: [MACCAWS] largest compliant site

We kind of have discussed this over and over again. We will not be
"requiring" anything. We won't be saying you HAVE to validate or

We will be moving people towards using standards because it makes
commercial sense. The more they see it affects their bottom line, the
more they will use.
