Yes. To address the root cause, designers need to take on the attitude
described in:
http://digital-web.com/articles/designer_user_partnership
PDU> When Web designers apply visual design conventions and then nail
PDU> them down to ensure their integrity, usability suffers because
PDU> users cannot modify elements of a fixed design.
Without the attitude change, improving accessibility will be like
pulling teeth and require a big stick which causes site owners to put
pressure on designers.
