I agree, I don't think introducing the scrollbar at 630is unreasonable.
And for what it is worth, I think the new site looks great - open and very
clean. One minor quibble is the default font size, which for some reason is
a little small with IE9, but fine with a couple of other browser I regularly
use.
Many thanks to the WebAIM team,
Roger

I don't think 630px is an unreasonable width at which to present scrollbars.
Is it? Our previous site design did so at around 750 pixels, so I don't
believe that's the complaint.

This is not quite the introduction I was hoping for, but yes, we've launched
a new WebAIM.org site. Please check it out. I put together a brief write-up
about new features at http://webaim.org/blog/new-webaim-website/
