Re: the official definition [of web accessibility] from the W3C is wrong

Steve, I totally understand where you're going, but I think if you remove 
"people with disabilities" it will be overlooked.

At a minimum: Web accessibility means that all people, including those 
with disabilities, can use the web
or
Web accessibility means that people with disabilities and all people can 
use the web

I think that would usually be understood as "more than one" rather than
"all people", so you probably want to at least add the "all" there.
