Jakob Neilsen did an Alertbox a couple of weeks ago that may be an
interesting read for those following this thread:

http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20011111.html

To sum up: "the Web's current usability is about three times better for
users without disabilities than it is for users with disabilities".

He also points out that "Many of the usability problems are very cheap to
fix" - this particular "problem" is especially cheap to fix, as it's not a
problem by default, but only after someone creates it :-)

Cheers
Jon
