And regulatory compliance as well. Historically, regulations have been a 
major motivation for accessibility efforts. Regulations are tightening - 
especially in the European Union.

Of course, many of the contributors to accessibility are doing so for 
the right reasons (i.e., the moral reasons), but it helps to give them 
funding and job security if regulations ensure that the work isn't optional.
