Text-only is only really mentioned in regards to Section 508. I don't know
how many agencies require it, but some only require it if every other
option to get the content compliant fails. It was thrown in back in the day
when AT and JavaScript didn't play nicely. These days, if you have to
resort to throwing up a text-only version, you probably have some other
usability issues I'd assume.
