The other problem here is that what people deem to be accessible is not
actually accessible. Just because a document or a webpage complies with
section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act does not make it actually accessible
to the blind. It is infuriating when you deal with people who insist that
they followed all the rules and that the documents are certified even by the
Access Board as being accessible to the blind using the legal definition of
accessibility and yet when you actually try to use it, it is useless.
This separation between the law and reality is the problem.
