We've got over the idea that HTML is a visual medium, so standards-aware designers know how to markup for semantics, which can then be extracted by assistive technology. But I'd suggest that most Flash developers still see it as a visual medium. I’m not sure that Flash breaks accessibility so much as most Flash developers break accessibility.

LOL! Most of this data is encouraging. I wonder how hard it would be to uninstall Flash (I do so easily, but I'm sighted). It would be nice to know how many screenreaders implement the HTML 4 accessibility features and if they're actually good outside of theory or if they've had to invent their own accessibility features.
