I don't. 5 years of internet time is likened to 50 years elsewhere. You
don't see hitching posts everywhere in town even though 1 or 2 people still
ride horses nor do you have partyline telephone support in your corporate
office on the off chance that a company will move in that has party line
ringer telephones.

A website built for multimedia is built for multimedia, you simply can't
express your content in textual fashion to the reader. Screen readers need
to evolve. This is like expecting a jack in all your movie seats for the
possible blind person and hiring someone to tell them what's happening
onscreen.
