Almost correct. We have an application we are now using that claims to be
Section 508 compliant. The Commonwealth of Kentucky has recently mandated
that software should be WCAG 1.0 Priority 1 compliant by Jan 1, 2004. I was
curious about two things: 1) WAS this software (and others we were looking
at) truly compliant under 508 (and apparently they are, even w/ the shady
wording...God bless loopholes, I suppose) and 2) can this software also be
considered compliant under the more clear cut Priority 1 criteria. And from
what I gather of readers opinions, clearly it fails when it comes to item 2.
