Elizabeth,

Thank you for the history, but I'm still confused.

What is the difference between certification and accreditation? And how is
the distinction important, professionally and legally? Who are the different
constituencies they serve? You've explained who was involved in developing
the standards, but not what (or why) the differences are.
