The deadling for Federal Web accessibility requirements is looming:

"We would have liked a longer window," Cleland said. While companies so far have been reluctant to openly criticize the six-month deadline, Cleland said he knows of at least one meeting of a number of prominent companies where leaders discussed ways they could delay the deadline.

"They're in a very tricky political position," he said, but "I will be stunned if we don't see some companies coming forward (to protest) as the deadline approaches."

Well if you won't do something good for the people on your own....then I say kudos to the government for stepping in.

Not holding my breath on this one.
