Legally the site owner has to make the site accessible for all.
Thats what was said.. Accesible to all is not the same as work on all browsers.. The accesible thing is in the Disability descrmination act which has been out for many years but the accesible part comes into force this year.

It basically means a person who is say blind.. should have the same acess to any service you are offering as a non blind person would have.. This means a blind persons browser that speaks the contents to him must be able to read your page..

People who use things like FLASH for there websites will be in big trouble at this point as accesibility is about 1 on a scale of 1-10

But.. Its not really going to effect anyone unless your offering a service and a disabled person makes a complaint and that complaint is upheld.. which beleive me it wouldnt be in your case and most other websites....

BT, British Rail and companies like that however are going to find themselves with lots of complaints..
