Unfortunately, this is a "settlement" not a court win.  No precident was
set.  Again, unfortunately, American Airlines won their first round in
federal court about their web site.  Depending on ADA for web accessability
isn't necessarily a winning stratedgy.  I haven't heard how the appeals are
going on the american airlines case.
