What makes you think that WCAG is "pure idle theory from sighted people"? There are blind users on the WAI mailing list (who have contributed to the spec), and (IIRC) rather a lot of overlap between WCAG 1.0 and the RNIB's[1] See It Right campaign. Oh, and accessibility is about "Access for all" not "Blind people".
