IA/Usability: Describing Document Text for Accessibility. (Author: wiseguysonly)
http://www.evolt.org/article/headline/4090/36896/index.html

A key focus of accessible web site design is providing equivalent
alternatives to auditory and visual content.

Because it is generally assumed that the raw text in a web document
literally speaks for itself, it is often overlooked in accessibility
checks. Although it is not dangerous to assume your text will be
fine, it is worthwhile going the extra mile and adding a few behind
the scenes touches to improve accessibility.
