I would not be in favor of abandoning developpment of good practice policy development or implimentation because of any effort no matter how outstanding and this one truly is, that effort might be to render access to a particular segment of any population. In my day to day activities, I have contact with many individuals who's lives would be so much simpler if only a document producer or web page/site author made a small change here or there or began their work with access in mind.
