I worked for a major insurance company in IL(their name rhymes with "great charm") and they were pursuing accessible design <i>with commitment </i> six years ago; at the time I thought they were on the vanguard but it seems lots of "diverse" and "socially conscious" organizations have failed to follow suit and are still dropping the ball on accessibility...and losing money and customers as a result. One way that information architects and analysts can advocate for accessibility while minimizing the drama is by using <a> personas</a> that include users with special accessibility need.

I think We should put it as a human rights on the Web. Some questionable SEO strategies usually far more easy to explain in an accessibility point of view. More logical rather than guesssing the algorithm to cheat users. It is difficult to promote Web accessibility if the laws is the only reason. I think We should put it as a human rights on the Web.
