Chris's ideas on openid accessibility are interesting...another<br>
example of something that can be hung off a user-centric identity.<br>

I wanted to make sure folks were aware of the Fluid Project's work on<br>
open source, accessible, reusable javascript user interface<br>
components. You can see demos here:<br>

<br>
Fluid takes extra special care on accessibility issues.<br>
