And that's really the key point I was trying to make when I started this
thread (which, as Russ pointed out, has morphed considerably).
Too many 'designers' regard accessibility as something you *do* to your
site *after* you've developed its visual glory, with consequent
compromises, and text-based alternatives. It should be, instead, a
factor that influences your design choices from the beginning, sort of
"given these parameters, how do we get the effect we want" which is a
more sensible (and usually cheaper) option. Validate your test models
before polishing and you're more than halfway to creating a site that
satisfies on both criteria.
Now I'm just compelled to mention Faust - Flash AUgmenting STandards.

A great example of Faust in practice:
