Unfortunately the 'client' (i.e. the ones you're talking to) often
completely agree, but the people who need persuading are three levels up
and five across... and not really listening. I've had that happen a few
times, on this and accesskeys, primarily because of out-of-date
government guidelines.

Kind regards,
