[Sigia-l] International Interface Design?

Exactly!

I find the frequent Americano-centric view on this and other
lists often debilitating...it's the whole "World Series" debate all
over again. Sure, you speak from your point of knowledge but
it is the WWW now not the US DoD ARPANET any more.

Never should a site be designed - "just for us".

That is the same *exclusion by stealth* that occurs with:
o overly graphical sites
o sites requiring plug-ins, downloads or a different browser to run in
o non-accessible sites [at least optionally]
o sites needing high-bandwidth connections
o products priced only in dollars with no conversion options...
...

I could go on :) but won't...

thx.
