There is another scenario. It is likely that people will at some point hand around a bookmark for the version of the page that they were at. For example, the "published bookmark" for the page you mean might be http://moomin.invalid/ and as a user of Netscape I get directed to the all-singing, all-dancing version at http://moomin.invalid/singing - an equivalent page to http://moomin.invalid/text As a user, I would bookmark this page, and send it to someone else. They would find that they needed the text version to work properly with JAWS and Internet Explorer, but since there is no way of setting the University library system to run through a CC/PP proxy that understands how to get the right page (something that the page publisher had carefully and sensibly enabled) they appear to be running IE more or less as is. It is therefore important that one of the choice mechanisms is delivered via the content, and that that part of the content is accessible.

I also have some reservations, but I think they would be covered by adding another proviso, about what happens when urls are exchanged. If I'm on accessible to me page http://moomin.invalid/text/ and I wish to tell someone else of this resource, I must be able to do so just by giving them the url I'm on. Exactly how this might be worded is not something I'm up too...
