Rules versus "Rules"

Hey guys,

There has been a discussion at my job today about 508/WCAG versus more
'soft assessments' of accessibility considering how well the software
actually works.

Can anyone weigh in on their experiences? We all know that 'being
compliant' on a legal standard doesn't necessarily translate to
accessibility. I'm interested to hear your perspective and what you've
seen. Have you been seeing the 'soft criteria' initiate change much or is
it still in debate?

Ryan
