I can't answer for Henrik Dvergsdal, but speaking solely for myself I believe that HTML 5 should be designed to accommodate the accessibility requirements of as many people as possible. In practice, we can be guided by the accessibility legislation that is already in place in (for example), Europe and North America. What staggers me is that the Open Source movement wastes uncountable hours worrying about licences, whilst some members of this group seem blissfully unconcerned about the far more real-world concerns regarding accessibility.
