      But at the same time, it is useful to 
    capture the fact that we have two sets: (1) issues folks have, and (2) 
    tools folks can use.

Why not classify the issues by what sort of tools would address them?
That could be more useful than classifications such as "vision impairment".

    Knowing where the blindness needs gaps are and filling them all in is a 
    potentially useful strategy -> it demonstrates a potentially full FLOSS 
    replacement for proprietary desktops.  Having a complete "win" or two 
    becomes a powerful argument for gaining momentum toward further wins.  

If we can do it, I am all in favor, but...

    As compared to having a whole bunch of 70% solutions for a variety of 
    disabilities that in the end mean only those folks who (a) don't have 
    money, and (b) don't pirate;

Please don't use nasty words such as "pirate" to describe sharing software.
It isn't wrong to share; what is wrong is stopping people from sharing.
