So I didn't read the screed, but I did download the usability study. It was eye-opening for me, and I have some experience at crafting accessible websites. The NNG did a careful study of visually and physically disabled people attempting to perform common web tasks (look up a bus schedule, buy a CD) on existing public sites. The study participants had a hard time of it, and clued me into some accessibility issues I hadn't previously know about. I'm carefully reviewing a volunteer side project I'm working on at home in light of this report; it's a website redesign with improved accessibility one of the key goals. Thanks for posting this link, Jeff; highly recommended reading.
