Sort of responding to Sina's comment yesterday about how Serotek "coded to
the test," to make www.songza.com accessible, coincidentally, I was talking
to Matt last night and asked how much of that sort of thing he was doing.
He said very little. Marco Zehe (another FS refugee who now works at
Mozilla) did a recent blog entry (not enough coffee to recal his URL)
mentioned a few sites (none of which Matt had heard of) where SA is doing a
great job while JAWS and WE are completely falling apart. So, while Matt
may be using songza as a test harness, his work is effective on other pages
as well.

Peter and others:
One thing you could do is to Google around. And another thing would
be to check out the list's archives on this thread for the last bunch of
days.
But since I happen to have some stuff around, I'll paste in a few
links and hope that others who are more expert than I am will
critique my selections and add others. Also, since many of us are
both concerned and excited about the potential value that AJAX will
add to our Web life, if it's deemed appropriate, maybe some of this
could be captured on the evolving Wiki that Jamal and others are
building, though I surely understand if this info'd be deemed out of
scope for that Drupal-based project.
So, here I go. As with all things W3C, I would start with the W3C, such as:
