I disagree with their ddeffinition and anyway, it's not actually
testable as a deffinition. I am not blind nor am I visually
challenged. My technology is impaired and I use other disabled
technology to attempt to mittigate the impairment of the technology I
use. beyond that, there are others, almost all forinstance who need
looking after when it comes to making web accessible. Further
ghetoizing us is google now suddenly trying too become the authority
on what is good for us. Now, this if used correctly might become a
good thingg if site publishers decide they want to get in this rrank.

Google has relesed a search system which returns only accessible

From the FAQ: Google defines accessible websites and pages as content
that the blind and visually challenged can use and consume using
standard online technology, and we've worked with a number of
organizations to determine which websites and pages meet those
criteria. Our methods for identifying accessible pages and content are
always evolving; Currently we take into account several factors,
including a given page's simplicity, how much visual imagery it
carries and whether or not it's primary purpose is immediately viable
with keyboard navigation.
