It seems like as more and more companies adopt a forward thinking view of web development, this skillset will be a hot commodity.
My hunch is that the door leading to mass adoption of Web standards will be labeled "Accessibility". There have already been at least three cases I'm aware of where the fines (or equivalent thereof) where into the tens of thousands of dollars: the Sidney Olympics and two cases in New York (I think it was Ramada and Priceline, but I don't quite remember). As disability laws get enforced more in regards to the Web, and as more laws go onto the books around the world, we, as Web Standards Practitioners will be well placed. Or at least I hope so.
Now if the ambulance chasers would just get off there rear ends and drum up some business for us! :-D
