This may be a little off subject, but I'd like to see a debate about screen readers themselves.
Many agencies (here in France) freeze when the client starts requiring full-on accessibility. Designers gasp in horror as their ideas for rich interfaces are reduced to cumbersome HTML pages with multiple screen refreshes. I've heard on many occasions questions like "why are we having to downgrade the experience for everyone?" or "how can we achieve experience excellence for those with and those without disabilities?" Surely the answer here lies in the screen reader software. I'm certainly no expert in accessibility issues or screen readers themselves, but instead of asking can AJAX be accessible, I'd like to ask when will screen readers be able to interpret AJAX...
