Where does this leave Flash-based sites? Do they now have to have an HTML equivalent?

What about an American with a disability (blind) who doesn't speak English? Will every site need to identify all the Americans that lack strong enough English skills and also have a duplicate site which is translated into their language?

Like some have commented, it is relatively easy to make a site accessible (if it is dynamic or small), but there are many other 'problems' that can come from a ruling in favor of the plaintiff.

In Target's case they should just do it for the negative-publicity, and the fact that they'll just have more customers.
