This is a messy situation. On one hand, I totally get that the internet is a massively important portion of most people's lives, and people that need special accomodations should be able to participate. On the other hand, accessibility still doesn't seem to be easy to implement. I don't work on the frontend, so I could be wrong, but last I looked, it seemed heavily manual and somewhat hard to integrate. It will be expensive to implement, at least until someone makes a better abstraction.

I suspect the Domino's ruling will be the winning one, but I don't know where that line gets drawn. Does my blog have to support accessibility? I don't sell anything, but it is public. Is the neighborhood softball league going to have to implement it? Commercial entities will probably have to comply, but I'm curious what the impact on the rest of the landscape will be.
