Didn't see a mention of this here yet:

As usual, I don't agree with Jakob on this issue, mainly because it's
too "easy" of an approach to assert "there is a technological solution
to providing access to disabled users!" and then leave the rest as an
exercise for the user. Do we really think that web developers and/
or programmers will automatically know how to make pages optimized for
blind (deaf, etc) people using database technology? These days it's
rare to find proper ALT text, so I can't share Jakob's enthusiasm in
his belief that transformation-based content delivery will prove to
be a great enabling technology for the web. At least, not without a
huge amount of work still to be done.
