Conclusions

To conclude:

• Public sector bodies who want to provide accessible Web sites seem to find it difficult to do so, even on individual high-profile pages
• The WCAG 1.0 guidelines appear to promote little-deployed and emerging W3C technologies in additon to mature & well-supported features
• It appears to be difficult / expensive to produce richly functional & accessible e-learning resources

Or is this taking the WAI WCAG guidelines too literally? Don't the guidelines do a good enough job in the majority of cases, and to highlight exceptional cases or esoteric aspects is to undermine the valuable work that WAI is doing (and provide a loophole for avoidance)?
