Of course it does matter since section 508 of the Rehabitation Act is also
for software and internet applications
.http://www.section508.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=Content&ID=12#Application

And already heard of ADA, the American Disabilty Act?   An Attorney general
have stated that this is also legal for all websites and not only for public
websites that have to conform to section 508 of the Rehabitation Act.

Svg is a w3c technology and developed as accessible alternative for flash.

In always more countries is valid or wellformed code  of websites/ software
a legal requirement, mostly for public websites but some countries will
extend this to commercial applications/websites.

Some accessibility laws require w3c techniques when the task can be done and
when other techniques are used, also an accessible version must be offered
that is device-independent and can be used on all platforms.
Also seperation of code and styles can be a legal requirement, so  disabled
visitors can overwrite stylesheets (css) and apply it to their needs.

Accessibility laws are mostly based on the Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/  written by t he w3c-Web
Accessibility Initiative.
