The goal should be (in my opinion) to provide the content and tools in such a way that users can be accommodated. In general users also have some responsibility to know their assistive technology, to be willing to learn new things, and to advocate for the realistic needs. What works for one person won't work for another. Instead of having 100 different versions of the same site the user needs to ability to specify the preferences and have a site, user agent, and or assistive technology render the content to them in an accessible manner based on their preferences. The content needs to be structured in a manner that allows for this. Jonathan
