AWARE Center Common Myths About Web Accessibility

I've just added the following page at the HTML Writers Guild's
AWARE Center:

     http://aware.hwg.org/why/myths.html

Common Myths About Web Accessibility 

MYTH #1: An accessible web page is dull, boring plain text. 
MYTH #2: Accessible web authoring is expensive and time-consuming. 
MYTH #3: Accessibility is hard! Let's go shopping! 
MYTH #4: Disabled people don't use the web! 
MYTH #5: Good assistive technology can solve all accessibility problems. 
MYTH #6: Web accessibility only helps people with disabilities. 

I don't directly address legal requirements (ADA, 508, etc) and
the misinformation surrounding that, because other folks (such as
Judy) are true experts on such matters and I'm just a dabbler in
law-related issues.

But I'd like your feedback on this page as well as any additions
or comments you may have.  Thanks!
