RE: Accessibility: Good or bad for business? (Was: Public list or not?)

When you say foreigners  I assume you mean non-English speakers since I most likely am a foreigner to you and vice versa. Anyway, how exactly does the WAI which seems to be all about disabilities (i.e. readable/big fonts, alternate text on images,  captioning for audio, link redundancy, etc) solve the problem of having people who do not speak the same language as me [or the dyslexic] understand my web content?

 That will and shall be the choise of the author(s) and their bosses
 behind
 the website. The goel should be to ALWAYS take into account (not as a
 rule but as
 a pointer) the blind, visual impaired, dyslectic, and the elderly,
 youngsters,
 and foreigners.
