You're right, it is fairly academic, maybe except for the fact that if 
it works OK in a text browser, you're halfway through on the job of 
making it usable to the blind or near blind folks.

I realize that they are not part of everyone's target audience. What 
you'd be surprised is how many people think that their target audience 
doesn't cover the blind, when it fact by not caring about them they 
lose a fair chunk of business.
