Copyrighting is essential, but the trouble with selling such tools is
that in an emerging industry, web-site designers need to be encouraged
to 'design-in' accessibility. Having to pay for such tools may
discourage developers from implementing accessibility features.

Personally, I think you ought to snag a copyright or something on this
tool. At least have a dated backup copy. I think it is great. Imagine
selling the idea to a few software editor companies.

Allow user to add in acronyms or abbreviations, etc. etc would be an
abbreviation.

Nice work and great idea Ian. :)

This would be immensely useful to me when I write tutorials or lectures
involving standards and guidelines. I never thought about it before, but
I imagine I could create a library of snippets for my Homesite editor
and add these to the editor in some way, too.

Another idea... sidebar tools for moz to be used in conjunction with
composer?

great stuff, and keep up that curiousity and inventiveness.
We need better tools to work with. period.
