Just a quick thought/question... not just for the case of the blind but also
those on low bandwidth and other "alternate" web browsing choices, would a
good solution for all this be to build a "site of many faces", using CF and
the CGI.HTTP_USER_AGENT to switch between faces.  I've seen this done for
WAP in an example mode but haven't really seen it.  The concept would be
something along the lines of an auto-switch instead of having the user click
on "High Bandwidth" and "Low Bandwidth" at a splash page.

Granted, it's more development time, but it's also a great selling point!

Just my two cents.
