The lawsuit essentially argues that Target's online operation violated the
American with Disabilities Act because it is not designed to be easily
accessible to blind users.

Good article that could have a driving force in all the additional
"standard" for an ecommerce site will require in the near future.
They are going to up the standards, we you?
This is a great article, for all the right reasons.
I'm not sure I'd say that ADA access requirements "up the standards". One
of the points in the article is that flashy/glitzy/highly-pictorial and
animated websites are not only inaccessible, they are slower (and in my
opinion, more likely to confuse and annoy surfers). While cutting that kind
of stuff way back would be good for many reasons, I'm not sure it's
"upping" the standards rather than rolling them back to something that a
broader audience can deal with.
