It's a fantastic resource for people like me who need a refresher ever once in a while. I agree with Rob on his assessment of Erin’s article.

I hadn't really given it any consideration previously. His comment about "so many experts, so little research" rings true. I can't think of many large scale empirical studies myself. Maybe this sort of thing does not easily flow down from ACM publications, or maybe as he suggest, not a lot is being done. Also, although Erin's article is titled a resource for beginners, it is still worth a trawl for many. There are some useful bookmarks. I find that sometimes It is a little difficult to carry a lot of this stuff around in my head, especially when it comes to CSS, "has-layout" and the like. - Rob I though Maurizio’s thoughts on the WAI methods of reasearch to be enlightening.
