It would be interesting...
... to know why I'm downvoted for advocating web accessibility. Australia at least has the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities states that, “… information intended for the general public to persons with disabilities in accessible formats and technologies appropriate to different kinds of disabilities in a timely manner and without additional cost”.
The convention also urges, “…private entities that provide services to the general public, including through the internet, to provide information and services in accessible and usable formats for persons with disabilities.”
Quite why some web designers have a hate-on for the less abled escapes me.
