Policy barriers, while initially perceived as being a potential barrier, proved to be one of the least imposing issues the team members faced. The New York State accessibility policy was the only major state policy that the Testbed agencies were required to comply with. They expected that changing to an XML format would actually assist with this compliance. As one program manager states, “Having the state policy has made it much easier for us, because we can say, look, it is not us—it’s NYS. So having the policy in writing has been very helpful.” Since XML can manage multiple output formats with far fewer files, it can also make it easier to “generate more accessible Web documents,” as one Testbed member remarked.
