See my previous response to Nico regarding this issue.

Music excludes deaf audiences. Dance and painting exclude blind
audiences. But we don't decide not to compose or move or paint anymore
because some people unfortunately cannot participate. We continue to do
these things, and often go to some lengths to include disabled people
where possible -- for instance, signed interpretation of vocal music. In
the realm under discussion (again see my previous response), markup
languages have a much better potential for including people than does
"plain text."
