Can you give us a few examples of code which is believed to be accessible 
but isn't? (I don't think I'm doing anything I shouldn't, but you never 
know....)

I do a lot of websites for small businesses. Attitudes to usability and 
accessibility vary. Most clients will appreciate that a site is built with 
accessibility in mind, some want a particular inaccessible feature no 
matter what. In the main my clients seem to care, although they may not be 
aware of the issues until we explain it to them.
