appreciated. It would be helpful to know in advance whether a study on
this topic would be useful to the web accessibility community.

Microsoft recently made available two studies on accessibility
technology. Part of the findings seems to suggest that any access
improvements benefit a much wider range than "simply" users with
disabilities.



As for the usefulness of such a study, I'd say yes...anything that can
help convince decision makers to invest in accessibility would be a good
thing.
