David, I disagree. I feel that in the case of persons whose disability includes cognitive limitations, accessibility means they should have the full content conveyed ... full content meaning both text and graphics/multi-media ... A text without supportive graphics should be considered an incomplete page, not yet accessible to all the PWD's whose "buying power" is promised. I do not think it's reasonable to draw an arbitrary line dividing disabled web users into those who will be accommodated under accessibility guidelines, and those who will be ignored or ghettoized. I thought it interesting that the language you chose to illustrate "foreign languages" is normally used as graphics rather than as "characters".
