We are going through this right now. My best advice is to use sharepoint as an infrastructure tool (eg for the "back end" of publishing/etc) and to rewrite everything that the PUBLIC touches.
As below: -redo menu controls -redo any web parts you want to use (content query, etc) -base your master on minimal and build up from there It's a shame MS doesn't take accessibility seriously with asp.net full stop, and that unfortunately makes SharePoint a victim.
