I would add mention of the W3C WAI "Authoring Tools Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG)" to this list of what is still needed. Tools, and I also include toolkits, UI widget kits, checkers, templates, etc. go a lot further in both educating and enforcing the best practices and policies of accessibility. What is still needed: * Better, more user-friendly support for User-supplied style sheets in the modern browser. * Stronger legislation and enforcement at the Federal and State levels, both in the USA and in other countries around the world, directed at software vendors and content authors. * Better education directed at content authors to use appropriate structural markup, and to have a cleaner separation of content and style (i.e. linked style-sheets rather than embedded or in-line style markup).
