After reading the article myself I agree Jason is wrong.
Even with closed systems like intranets you're "playing with fire" if
you don't have regard for accessibility.
I haven't been posting to this list very much lately but I just had to
say something about this.

I feel there has been LOADS of 'accessibility is a must' type

loads of arguments which are essentially 'accessibility for the sake
of accessibility'.
My point is that we are heading towards the times where 'relevant
accessibility' is more important than 'accessibility' per se.
Please have a read of my article and comment via email or on the
blog itself.

Sorry, Jason, but your essay is so poorly thought out and poorly
written that you've given critical readers little to work with.
You're just throwing a cat into a dog pen to watch the fun, and it's
not even a real cat. If you really think there are types of websites
in which accessibility concerns are irrelevant, list or describe
them, but really all you're doing is exposing your own lack of
broad, deep, and empathetic thinking.

You could have stopped right there.
Glumly,
