I think flash fails (and don't get me worng here since flash pays much of my mortgage) since you can't resize text and also the majority of the readers still don't read it well enough.
I really do hope I'm exagerating re CSS, no flash etc, but logic suggests I'm not since these tools/technologies limit to a very specific "way of seeing the web (a site)".
Accessibility does feel like lowest common denominator which means that without browser standards the end user experience will be poorer rather than richer.
I see this as all broadcastes being required to make TV in b/w to cater for those who do not have colour sets. All our experiences get compromised.
I would rather see development with screen readers so they could read the existing content than change all the existing content so that it can be read.
I very much support accessibility I'm just concerned how legislation will affect "design" of accessible web sites.
