If seamless accessibility means presenting different material to different audiences, each audience not knowing what the other is getting, then I am not at all in favour of it. I am, like I suspect most people here, in favour of solutions to accessibilty problems which do not rely on the 'get a life - download hotbrowser version 567 for the BBC Micro to see this website' approach.
