Hi Brian,
I believe in a deep link between IA and W3C Web Standards (Xhtml plus 
Css2 design) - in general - and Accessibility - in particular.

I think the structure vs. presentation separation is the trait d'union 
between IA and Standards.
Both Standards and IA look at the semantic layer of a structure - and I 
think Standard & Accessibility can help the Architect in his mission.

So it's a lot of time I left tables to embrace Xhtml and CSS 
positioning, also in projects not requiring them.
Adaptive Path was redesigned by standards with a lot of advantages, see
<http://www.stopdesign.com/log/2003/07/09/the_new_path.html>.

About the value of standards and their rapport with design, see also
<http://www.maccaws.org/kit/way-forward/>.

Recently I worked to accessible redesign of <www.sistemapiemonte.it>.

Ciao,
Luca
