You are ignoring the user experience. This can be as important as your
content, if not MORE important, depending on the context.

Also, once again, Flash IS ACCESSIBLE. It can be screen read, it
supports CSS and tagging (as in alternative), plus it's a presentational
layer. You may as well accuse MPEG movies, or JPEG images of being
inaccessible. It's all about HOW it's used.

Look up FlashPaper, you may be surprised.
