Also important is that the WAI guidelines aren't just for the impaired, they help everyone, at one point or another:

*  If you've ever had to view a page over someone's shoulder, legible fonts make a big difference
*  If you've ever had to use one of those "pencil eraser" laptop mice, tabbing through a page relieves a lot of digital pain
*  If you've ever had to connect to your company web site from a hotel in Europe, turning off images or having a "text-only" page helps you get to dinner on time
*  If you've ever been forced to "update your JRE" or download an MS patch, alternates to applet controls help you get the job done when your versions clash
*  If you sit in a cube-farm, video & audio transcripts are required to get the message without bugging your coworkers
