The U.S. Department of Education recently sent out a Request for

standards, which included some questions on accessibility. The
Department has provided public access to the comments submitted through
this process.

Interesting. I had to chuckle though that the document (.doc) is not marked up very well in the headline department (bold text instead of headlines) - especially when one of the pseudo-headlines is "Use Markup to express content whenever possible" !

Yes...they should have just put all the comments up in HTML instead of
posting in Word or PDF. One never knows how they end up posting these
things. I remember not too long ago when Steve Jacobs comments (dealing
with accessibility) to some federal agency was simply posted as an image
PDF and this totally inaccessible!
