True, but that doesn't extend to being able to view non-HTML content.
Remember that most places where there are accessibility laws, they apply
with equal or greater strictness. Some places that don't have specific
accessibility legislation will cover equal opportunities in employment
for disabled people in their employment legislation.

Cheers
