Hey Steve...no need to defend the IE decision. It's the real world and you obviously have real constraints to deal with. It's a great project nonetheless.
Jan...I use the web developer toolbar (a must-have tool IMHO), but never fully dug through all of the accessibility options. I find new stuff in there every day!
