I was aware of Section 508 before (I've cited it as part of my boring statistics speech at work), but I've never had a concise document to point management to. Thanks for the link! Oooh, I like it!

If you go in talking about high contrast mode and screen readers, then the reaction is almost always "yeah, but that's such a minority so we'll work on something else." Thankfully, the US Census Bureau has a great fact book online about how many people in the US have various disabilities... if you can't stun em with sensible needs, stun em with boring statistics. ;-) The hardest part about having good accessibility, from my experience, is trying to convince the decision makers that accessibility isn’t a tax.
