We're actually on the same page here Chip. The work the theme reviewers are doing is great and the work the Accessibility Team is doing is also great. My approach is to make the community aware that while we are in a holding pattern the world is moving forward very quickly.

Of course the accessibility-ready tag can't be mandated overnight and of course the standard needs to be established and routines need to be put in place. To propose otherwise would be idiotic and I know you know that's not what I'm saying. However, waiting for the community to educate itself on this issue is not going to get us where we need to be fast enough. What we need to do, together, all of us, is to put Accessibility front and center and make it something people not only know about but care about and make part of their process. And part of that process should be to draw a line in the sand and say "beyond this point accessibility is a requirement". Where exactly that line should be depends on everything being in place, but if we stake it too far into the future we will be left behind by other platforms that are moving ahead full force on this issue.
