CSS coder, JS coder, PHP coder and designer should all be very familiar with accessibility principles. Developing non-accessible systems is like making a family car which can only drive on tarmac surface, but as soon as it hits anything else grinds to a holt. That's just plain old wrong. This year we are having to consider more and more user agents and access devices: BlackBerry, EEEPC type tools, iPhone, soon to come surface, Linux/Windows/Mac, various types of web enables mobiles. Accessibility is therefore becoming more and more relevant with time.
