Is it just me, or does this seem...kind of useless? In an era where 99.99999% of bloggers can't even be bothered to caption photos, only 2 comics on the entire internet bother with descriptive text, 0 online videos are audio described, the vast majority of websites use completely inaccessible CAPTCHAs, well over 90% of the posts on most web forums are undescribed images, And only 20% of published books will ever become accessible in any format, I'm perfectly happy with text to speech. There are far, far more important battles to fight. We need accessible textbooks to get an education, accessible software so we can find jobs, etc. I don't see how nagging bloggers to do something unnecessary is in any way useful. I'm sorry if this is overly critical, but I can only call it as I see it.
