Seems that maybe now that the public outcry has started, they are beginning
to understand that they don't have "the one truth" after all.

I also find it quite telling that Ian can't or won't name one single on-line
accessibility expert that they have consulted with whilst coming up with
these brilliant solutions - I provided him with a fairly decent shopping
list of advocacy groups, NGO's and "recognized" experts (including BTW, the
two 'experts' giving testimony in the Target.com case; Chuck Letourneau and
Jim Thatcher).  However, instead it seems that the only experts being
consulted are Lachlan, Maciej and Ian (who just recently got himself a
version of Jaws to further increase his expert status)
