    I didn t say that. I did say that both conditions *should* *anyway* be
    respected. Then I don t think we can say one is better than the other,
    since importance isn t a linear thing.

Here is where your views conflict deeply with the central ethical
principle of the free software movement.

Our central principle is that a proprietary program is evil and worse
than nothing, but a free program that is useful for at least one
person is better than nothing.  A free program that does an important
job, and can be used by 99% of users, is a very good thing -- even if
accessibility would make it better.

We can work with you in encouraging developers to build in
accessibility from the start provided you make a commitment not to
oppose our central ethical principle.
