A study fairly recently highlighted the lack of regard for web accessibility amongst the majority of the FTSE 100 www.nomensa.com/news/at-nomensa/2006/4/ftse-100-websites-fail-accessibility- requirements.html The quickest way to 'guide' these companies would be for Google to incorporate the algorithm from its beta accessible search engine into the one used main stream.
