Re: The cost of accessibility

Just a suggestion, but what if you take the approach that accessibility costs should never be more than 5% of the project cost? As people gain experience that 5% cost will gain you more accessibility. It might not be perfect to begin with, but some accessibility is always better than inaccessibility.

Of course, part of the problem is still that we keep talking about 2-5% without really discussing what kind of work that expense pays for.
