Please let not start a debate which is out of cope for public-html.
In this news story, there are 2 levels at least.
* An evaluation of the accessibility level of a commercial site.
* A legal ruling about a site with insufficient accessibility.
A technical specification is a set of technological requirements
providing functionalities including accessibility features *whatever
they are*.
The Court ruling doesn't say what techniques must be used, but that
the Web site must be accessible.
