Standards or best practices need to be developed for the placement of accessibility controls. One of my favorites was a control for screen magnification users that would display the forms fields in a single column right justified down the side of the page. The control was in the upper left hand column. The really interesting part was that nobody mentioned it during user testing with screen magnification users. The problem was identified closer to release.
