Accessibility is a spectrum, from "very accessible" to "not accessible". (Note that it's possible to be "not accessible", but that there's no such thing as "absolute accessibility.") Truth to tell, "accessible" means "_I_ can use it", where "I" is the person talking. The goal of accessibility is to make the group of people who fall under "_I_ can use it" as great as possible, and definitely not exclude anyone using a valid user agent, or with a non-standard computer setup, or with a disability of some sort. The WAI page author guidelines are a measuring tool to see how close we come to that goal of everyone being included in "I". --Kynn
