I'm curious how you are defining 'accessible' here; elements themselves are 
neither accessible nor inaccessible, it's the content that they contain that 
is accessible or not (but nice try).

Then there is the question of "inaccessible" to whom? You? Me? A mobility 
impaired user? A deaf user? Tossing out "inaccessible" like it's some kind 
of show-stopping boogie-monster is offensive to me, and I'm sure others. 
Please refrain from doing so unless you have specific issues you wish to 
bring forward.
