Yep. As soon as Target, Priceline and Ramada were successfully sued 
under ADA some years back, it opened the way for stricter regs under 
ADA. Section 508 is a little passe these days in that it was only really 
focused on government sites.

Applying some kind of reasonable accessibility adjustment under ADA 
brings the US in line with the more recent laws in some European countries.
