I think you're being very unrealistic to expect staff and
students to start producing HTML via any editor, be it Word
or Dreamweaver. We have enough difficulty getting
even appointed departmental web co-ordinators here to use
any editor other than Word or Netscape Composer. As for
writing standards-compliant/disability friendly code,
forget it!
