Anne, can you take one or two specific pages and describe what kind of illustrations would be useful? E.g., "this page could use an illustration of a man with a shovel after the first headline" or "this page could use some sort of graphical representation of the numbers in table 3". I am fine with the idea of making sites more accessible by using graphics, but I think many people (myself included) are not entirely sure what kind of graphics are necessary. Also, if you could explain _why_ you made the recommendations, that would help a lot too, as it will enable web designers to get into the right mindset when thinking about conveying content not only through text but in a variety of different ways.
