Well, in agreement with Steve, if the private industry will not police
themselves then who else would you have police them? I think we'd all prefer
that enlightened self-interest private industry preaches to us ad nauseum,
but in the end, they've have since the birth of the world wide web to work
on this, and only a few have done so.

Steve 

While I obviously prefer more than less usability of web sites, I sure as
heck don't want the government in this business.  Do you, or anyone else,
really believe that a bureaucracy such as the federal government can
possibly get this right given their record in running a railroad, a mail
system, a Social Security system, the already falling apart ObamaCare
system, and all the rest.
And what may be deemed usable by me may not be by you, et al.
The notion may be noble; but the outcome would so restrict growth of the
U.S. web.
