Kay, I'll try to summarize a paragraph on this topic from one Czech
accessibility book:
- having a page containing only text still doesn't implicate it's
accessibile
- using text version often leads to forgetting all the rules of good web
on the main site and placing more barriers there
- if the main site is not accessible, it is hard to find a link to the
text-olny version
- paralell version may simplify the issue to an idea that accessible =
for blind visitors, which isn't true and leeds to constraining other
visitors who may use the accessible site
- the need of a separate maintenance of the text-only version often ends
in not-so-accurate content and makes it worthless.
