Blind web traffic...
Thanks for the reply, and I can hopefully help you understand that point.
Blind people traffic the web, just as you and I do, but their browser is Aural in nature. It speaks the pages to them, vs. them being able to see it. So when you are building your site, you need to make sure that if it was visited by that type of visitor, they could navigate your site using their browser.
It's not a statement of adding audio to your site, it is a statement of making sure your site can be understood by an aural reader when a blind person would visit your site. Just as any business must have handicap access or risk being sued, the same is true on the web, Section 508 still applies.
Hopefully that will help you a bit.
