---- Are Accessibility and Usability Synonymous with SEO?

Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI)
[w3.org...]

Would most of you agree that Accessibility and Usability are synonymous with SEO?

WAI Guidelines and Techniques
[w3.org...]

If you don't agree, then why? If you do, would you agree that the best SEO books out there are those that discuss the visitor experience? To achieve that visitor experience requires an intimate knowledge of the html elements and attributes available to you for ensuring an accessible and usable website, am I correct?

If I were to know nothing about SEO, never heard of it, and I needed to build a site that appealed to a certain audience. If I followed the guidelines above at the WAI, how do you think I would do out of the gate? Would I have covered 100% of my onsite SEO just by making sure that my users were able to access and use everything?
