Interesting. I had an email from a Californian law firm, claiming that my website was not sufficiently accessible for vision-impaired readers and I could be sued in California because of it, and would I like to pay them for their legal assistance in making it meet ADA legislation?
I suggested they consider Arkell v. Pressdram, and haven't heard a cheep from them since. The site looks perfectly okay with javascript and styling turned off (it's a forum, it's all text, there are some photos), so I expect it'll be fine in any practical screen reader. The demographic for the forum (people who want to repair and operate very old Range Rovers) already probably doesn't really include partially-sighted people, who would not be allowed to drive anyway if their vision was so poor they couldn't read text on a screen with reasonable adaptations.
I don't expect I will ever travel to California anyway, so I'm certain I've heard the last of them.
