The myth that accessibility is free or cheap is bugging me. OK clean HTML is possible with a clear plan and a little knowledge. That does not make it accessible. Of course poor HTML with lots of proprietary extras can be completely inaccessible. Even creating a single page that works on most browsers in a reasonable way, is more or less a dream, and in my experience quite a lot of work even to attempt. Creating accessible sites that work for people with (a range of) cognitive impairments is very difficult. Once again Accessible is being used to mean many things and this is causing confusion. We are awaiting the list of approved WAI sites. Bobby approved ones are just no good for accessibility outside of its HTML coding context.
