AccessForAll is about the matching of accessible content/resource/ services/etc to the user needs on an individual basis. So even if something has not been designed with the right principles and is not accessible to everyone, there might be a form of it that will be perfect for me - or you. So we are working on the match and because we are using standardised metadata to do this, if I happen to have made an accessible version of something for someone, you might be able to use it too - even if it was not available when the resource was first published - or from the creator of the original resource. Wonderful as universal design is an idea, we know that nothing can be perfect for everyone - so, in general, AccessForAll extends the effort for accessibility. There is some vocab available from schema.org and we are working on a standard with ISO and also IMS is working on this - and lots of others are involved .... Hope that helps?
