that is hosted by GCA's Research
Institute. The second special interest
day will focus on XML for
Printers. Here we will address
special XML concerns of the Print Media
side of GCA. And we will also be hosting
a special day that focuses on Web
Accessibility. This day is called "Web-4-All"
and will highlight that accessibility is
what will allow us to access information,
any place, any way, any time. We will
focus not only on how the Web is being
made accessible for those with
disabilities, but how the W3C
accessibility efforts will provide
amazing new access to the Web for us all!
