[html4all] Accessibility Design Principle

[Steven Faulkner]

Hi Laura,
thanks.
I was not sure if i had helped in a way that other people would agree
with, but i was pleased
that accessibility got split out from the other aspects of
universality, and that the first two sentences
of "5.3. Accessibility" are quite explicit:

"Design features to be accessible to users with disabilities. Access
by everyone regardless of ability is essential."
