Re: Accessible Icon

The W3C has its icons for successful validation (of CSS, HTML, XHTML,
etc...) and NCAM offers the web access symbol
(http://ncam.wgbh.org/webaccess/symbolwinner.html). The Web access symbol
doesn't indicate anything except that the developer is interested and
working toward delivering an accessible site or page.

The symbol is free to use as long as the suggested alt-text accompanies it.
