No, not "forced". "Required", "expected", whatever. The specification must be expressed in terms of accessible content : if a user (author) elects to ignore the specification, and produce inaccessible material, then no-one is planning to "force" that user to do otherwise, unless he/she is producing material that is covered by national or international accessibility legislation.
