The key words in your post were "public accommodation"  Is a corporate
website a "public accomodation" or a "private facility"?

And again, there is no precedence for a website not being accessible and
being sued successfully.

The buildings I live and work in do not have a ramp nor an elevator.  Does
that mean the building owners will be sued under the ADA?  Doubtful.  And
yes, I feel this is a very valid analogy.

Secondly, If I am in this building and I hire a person with a disability...
lets say they are wheelchair bound.  If I hire them, is it my problem, the
building owner's problem, or the employee's problem that they can't make it
up the stairs?

And if I make a product that only works on IE 5.5, and an employee comes and
says "well, I only use lynx", does that mean I am liable for not providing
them with a lynx-ready version?
