Another reason I try to come up with, as often as I can, is that it is
not hard to make adjustments to inaccessible websites. People simply
have to do things a, b, c and d, and they've fixed a decent percentage
of the website and make it work.
So not only is it desireable, the responsible thing to do, but it's
not that hard.
Of course saying that requires a lot of skill, and a statement like
that really has to be one that you can back it up with quick samples
or work arounds, but it seems to work beautifully when dealing with
mainstream web developers with limited time, increasingly
cost-conscious clients and relying to a larger extent on CMS or
another type of inexpensive way to produce multiple websites
efficiently.
Good discussion, all points are more than welcome.
