I personally never saw "accessibility" as being a separate part of the design process, so I'm kinda puzzled about all the "on-going effort" and kinda hype of this topic.

In an ideal world, nobody would to have point out that eg. "light grey text on white background" is rather unreadable, both on crappy, oversaturated notebook screens and for folks with bad eyesight. Also nobody would have to run around and invent stuff like ARIA-labels. Sadly, we dont live in an ideal world ..

So its a good thing to point folks to, esp. when it comes to stuff like "why would we need THAT?! That makes my site look less cool!" *stomps around the room like Rumpelstiltskin*
Thus, looking forward to not having to repeat myself over and over again :)
