accessibility

[Nate Angell]

Clayton, glad you posted to the list...I'm a member of the Sakai  
community and had put it to the fluid folks that they might find value  
in joining the OpenID community.

For the OpenID folks, please take Clayton's offer of accessibility  
help seriously...the Fluid folks are some of the best experts you'll  
find.
