Interesting. I think I'm going to have to let my brain ponder for a while about whether the having to work to access the accessibility carries over into physical access such as ramps etc. Though the ableds expecting us to do the work for them certainly does.
I had an interesting thing wrt alt text descriptions this week. I was using twitter (well, actually tweetdeck) and noticed the Twitter access team posting that they were about to go live for a quarter of the twitterati (as a test, IIRC they said it goes live for everyone in May) with some changes to make the existence of alt text more obvious when someone tweets a picture with an alt text description, and would like to hear people's opinions. I commented that I thought they should actively remind people that using pictures of text is inaccessible in the picture loading functiomn, and got a reply from them saying roughly "That's a good idea, we'll have to think about something like it" within about 30 seconds of posting. Obviously I just happened to catch someone actively logged into the account, but it's still encouraging.
