Re: adding functionality for accessibility, perhaps a specific example
would help...these requirements seems to suggest that we would have to add
add raw SMIL editing to our RealSlideshow product when the application
doesn't offer raw SMIL editing for others. Is this the case? This doesn't
seem reasonable.

what doesn't seem reasonable? that you should offer the same functionality to
all users? the ATAG doesn't describe how to build a tool for a niche market
(read: users with disabilities), but, rather, how to build a tool that can be
used by all persons, regardless of perceived disability, to create content that
can be used by all persons, regardless of perceived disability...
