JR: Good point...how about this

"accessible Web content is Web content that DOES NOT CONTAIN 
accessibility problems. Usually this refers to a particular level of 
accessibility (e.g., Web content that meets Level "A" Web content 
accessibility). NOTE: ACCESSIBLE WEB CONTENT IS SHORTHAND FOR CONTENT 
THAT MEETS A GIVEN SET OF ACCESSIBILITY CRITERIA. THIS DOES NOT 
NECESSARILY MEAN THAT IT WILL BE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERY PERSON WITH A 
DISABILITY."
