I wonder how far it goes.
I mean, does it just act as some kind of proxy that magnifies the pages so the text is bigger?
I'd be very interested in seeing this as I can't imagine how it can possibly deal with all the nasty ways there are to throw a spanner in the accesibility works.
I also wonder how damaging it will be to the "accesibility" cause when designers don't bother thinking about it as there is a tool that "they" can use.

From the description in the article, it appears to pull together several things that people you could do for themselves with a little know-how:
The only thing I don't understand (about this, that is - there are lots of things I don't understand!) is why they're doing all this cumbersome business with non-profits distributing 500 in the first year, 1000 the second and so on. Why not just put it on a page and let people download it?

All possible by writing a user style sheet - this will override anything sent from the server.
Dunno how they single out banners, but it's easy enough to switch images off in a browser
You can do that on the control panel in Windows.
Go into their operating systems? They never had to in the first place! However, a nice easy-to-use tool that brings these things together is, no doubt, welcome.

They'd have to make the page accessible, and they aren't sure exactly how.
