It showed people why doing things in an accessible way mattered, and after that, it was just a matter of developing resources to show them how. Similarly, I think that a large factor in the successful adoption of HTML 5 is not going to be technology-related. It's going to be developing a public relations campaign, just as was needed to get accessibility off the ground. The HTML 5 tutorials will not only need to explain any new features -- and explain old features NOT carried forward and why -- but will need to convince the developers that switching will give them some tangible advantage.
