No. And can we please stop talking about "graceful degradation" and start talking about "progressive enhancement"? If accessibility isn't your first concern, you're doing something wrong (with some obvious exceptions -- building an online image editor for the blind is probably taking the accessibility thing a bit too far).


If accessibility is a higher priority than quality or even getting the product finished, you're doing something wrong. Losing accessibility is bad, but having something people don't want to access is worse.


I want to agree with you, but then again Target got sued over this: http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2008/08/29/target-settles-acc...


Oh my god that's horrible! Next they're going to get sued because they're not donating to research aimed at improving blind people's vision.

Some of the comments on that article make me want to cry.
