This leads me to a question I've been meaning to ask. I have
accessibility statements on my sites with a link to them in the footer
of all pages (and a link to privacy statements), and also use a
meta-tag

<link rel="help" href="http://www.whateversite.com/access.html"
title="Our Accessibility Information and Key Legend" />

1) How do people feel about not have the accessibility link above the fold?
2) How do people feel about using the to point to
an accessibility page?

Thanks - Susan
