Re: schema course extend: accessibility

It would be great to be able to include accessibility markup this in an
initial guide to implementing Course markup.

People:

- Domain experts
  - Which organizations have an expert to help out with this?
- Schema.org experts
  - @danbri
  - @rjw
- Schema.org amateurs
  - @westurner
  -
- Data publishers
  -
- Data consumers
  - Data presenters: e.g. search engines, aggregator sites

User stories:

- Data publishers can specify available accessibilityPhysicalFeatures (at
least) for Places and Events (**URLs**)
- Data presenters can display (themed) icons for available services
(**URLs**)
- Data consumers can locate Place and Events with specific
AccessibilityPhysicalFeatures (**URLs**)

Technical approach:

- Enumeration > AccessibilityPhysicalFeature
- List of Enumeration URLs for known "AccessibilityPhysicalFeatures"
  - @accessibilityExperts: catalog known accessibility features
  - @schemaorgExperts: should these be Enumerations in schema.org core or
listed in a wiki page?
- Property: "accessibilityPhysicalFeature"? d: {Place,Event}
  - @schemaorgExperts: Relation to amenityFeature r:
LocationFeatureSpecification

... I'll copy this to this issue:

"Accessibility of places"
