==Social model==
Is there a consenus on the use of the Social model of disability? Should "disabled users" be changed to "users with a disability"? [[User:Drlurch|Drlurch]] 21:08, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 
== Clarification needed ==
 
"Businesses that have an online presence should provide accessibility to disabled users. Not only are there ethical and commercial justifications[23] for implementing the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, in many jurisdictions, there are also legal reasons. If a business's website is not accessible, then the website owner could be sued for discrimination.[24]" This implies that websties must follow the WCAG, whereas I believe no law requires websties to follow the WCAG specifically, only that they are accesible to disabled users. Following the WCAG is only one way to achieve this. If there is a legal requirement to follow the WCAG, I would like to know, and if there isn't, clarification is needed.
