Re: [sdw] Consider a section on Web accessibility - a11y (#1392)

Yes, but it occurred to me that a document that aims for best practices should actually tackle what the best practices of Web cartography may be  rather than a simple take on a poor acronym that's used as a fig leaf by some standards organizations and national mapping agencies. 

If I recall correctly, "visualization" of spatial data was originally designated as out of scope for the first version of this paper. Maybe that is still the case. If so that's unfortunate. Web a11y experts have shown a lot of willingness to help our community bridge this gap; we should engage.

I wrote a possibly relevant [post](https://www.w3.org/community/maps4html/2022/09/28/why-spatial-is-very-special/) that touches on the subject.
