Yes, it's really annoying. I've been trawling sites like the Disability
Rights Commission in the hope of finding something short and to the
point that I can quote to him but there just isn't anything specific
enough.
Thank goodness for the RNIB's Web Access Centre: at least I was able to
quote from there "(WCAG) are generally accepted as the definitive
guidelines on web accessibility and accessible design techniques" to
counter his dismissal of W3C standards.
