I'd like to think that our reasons are deeper than mere compliance
(and I'm sure you agree)!

For someone with disabilities, accessible web publishing could
literally change their life. It's just the right thing to do. And
while we're not perfect, our considerable efforts have yielded a
remarkably accessible application.

We have two "magic" classes you can use: hide-if-no-js and hide-if-js.
I recommend that your plugins leverage these as much as possible when
creating accessible administration screens.
