I think it's an interesting idea--I just haven't had time to play
with it. I need to find that address and fiddle with it tomorrow
after I finish a project for Public Affairs at Tech.
(Technically, I'm done today, but I promised this once I would take
work home to finish. So I'll do it at my work study ttomorrow and
email them.)

This would probably more true if you *had* to use the Google
accessibility search. Perhaps one could look at it as just one more
resource - a help, perhaps, if you're interested - for a particular
search - in winnowing out pages which do not follow guidelines for
b/vi accessibility.
I'n not sure it's 'ghettoizing' anymore than efforts to standardize
accessibility (Section 508 etc.) are 'ghettoizing'.
At the very least, it's certainly an interesting experiment (note:
still under the Google "labs" umbrella). What do we mean exactly
when we say something is or is not accessible to the blind and vi
(keeping in mind that this is a diverse community)? How can we
design web resources universally? What do the Google accessibility
search results really mean? etc., etc. Good for discussion and
bringing attention, no? Hard for me to see where the harm could be.
What do you think?
