Those very militant people just don't get it. Not everyone can drive. Does
that mean we should stop building roads because not everyone can use them?

I'm all for accessibility, but I think we have to be reasonable about what
extent we go to make things accessible--sometimes for nothing. Sometimes
people take things too far. Oh well.

Well, of course ;)

But many people don't. Thus, I have heard <very militant> 
individuals advocate removing all graphics from the documentation
