I think that is illegal - disability/access legislation (UK or EU) is 
going to get heavy about making sure information is accessible to 
visually impaired, if it isn't enforced now.

Someone I know has been pointing out that public organisations are in 
breach of the law simply by the use of microsoft products because they 
simply are not capable of meeting the accessibility standards. I'm not 
sure quite what grounds he is pointing out the problem, but then I've 
not programmed anything in earnest since the early 90s!
