I admit I haven't done any research on it, but I've always assumed that it's a pretty easy problem if you're talking about relatively static content-driven pages, but I've always assumed that when it comes to highly interactive web apps it becomes very difficult or even borderline intractable. Is that true? Are you able to use a site like, say, pivotaltracker? And if not, how would you get it to work?

Pivotal Tracker is one of my favorite apps as a developer, but it is a great example of a site that has a very unfriendly interface for low vision users. There are no functions on PT that require javaScript. The interface is great because it uses JS and AJAX, but it could have been built from the ground up using straight requests and redirects for its features, and then easily wired up with JS. When we build apps for section 508 compliance, we build them without JS and then add it in later to improve the UI for end users. I'll be talking about this a lot.
