That's right, a joke unless there is enforcement!

Section 508 is a joke. Blind Federal employees struggle daily with
inaccessible web pages and software applications. Online training that is
required is often inaccessible, and I constantly have to seek waivers from
my department head.

While I obviously prefer more than less usability of web sites, I sure as
heck don't want the government in this business.  Do you, or anyone else,
really believe that a bureaucracy such as the federal government can
possibly get this right given their record in running a railroad, a mail
system, a Social Security system, the already falling apart ObamaCare
system, and all the rest.
And what may be deemed usable by me may not be by you, et al.
The notion may be noble; but the outcome would so restrict growth of the
U.S. web.
