Cool Sean, thanks - forwarded to Ian Hickson.  I have also taken the liberty
of noting your training document here:

Yep, an important consideration.  Much content is blocked from Google for
many reasons, and I suspect that many instances of HTML that are exemplars
of "accessible design" (advanced tables, your mathML examples, etc.) are
in/at sites such as educational institutions (where ensuring accessibility
is *mandated*) and are at locations where access is restricted to enrolled
students.
