Without even reading what the person says, I will agree. The consumer has no idea what we're talking about when it comes to accessibility. Linking to any accessibility validator simply fails to provide the information people want and need. They want and need to be educated.
Creating an accessibility policy can be simple or it can be as hard as you want. But, you can't simply state that you developed your web site so it meets WAI A, AA or AAA or Section 508. People don't understand that and definitely don't understand the language developers use.

What standards are and how they will benefit. He suggests this is better than sending them to cynthia or bobby or even worse a dry w3c.com page. Check out the sample text included in the post.
