We've been labelling sites after certifying them so site owners and developers don't even know about the Content Label most of the time. Now that we're promoting labels specifically, we'll have to demonstrate just how easy it is. Watch this space - well, you'll be one of the first we'll tell :) Thanks Tom.

Content Labels are a great idea esp. considering how easy they are to roll out. It was a piece of pi** adding them to my sites once your guys had done the certification. Cheers, Tom Well done on the talk Paul – I’d love to have been there.

I agree with your point regarding the use of Content Labels for making assertions that are not ambiguous. That's exactly what we have in mind. It's difficult to appeal to everyone all of the time and it's even more difficult to explain everything in such a short space of time. I did get some positive feedback from the likes of BT who would like to progress with a discussion. Perhaps most of the audience was from the development community though, so I’ll keep that in mind for future reference :) So, I agree with everything you say. I'd love nothing more than say, 40 minutes to talk about the entire ecosystem that I'm looking to encourage - next best thing is a post I'm going to write here. Please do keep an eye on the blog and comment with your thoughts - it's great to get feedback!! What's worth pointing out is that Content Labels can be used to highlight whatever it is that developers already comply with. That is, I’m not looking to impose anything. I’d rather give developers a reason to comply with standards, or at least the opportunity to have a unique selling point. In fact, if you take a look at our partner programme, it's made up of established agencies and freelance developers who use the trustmark (Content Label) as a unique selling point. That is, they can help their clients demonstrate their commitment to accessibility standards. Content Labels aren’t putting additional pressure on them - quite the opposite.

But it does go to prove a point that cameraphone has got incredible potential to be a user's "main camera". With "proper" cams being reserved for "special occasion" use.
