Website sued for not being blind-accessible

[samanime]

Some interesting news came to me through the WSG mail. Apparently, Target has had a class-action law suit filed against them for not being blind-accessible. Here is a link to the article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071003/...get_blind_dc_4

I posted this here because I'd like to hear everyone's comments on the subject. I looked at their website, turned off Javascript and CSS, and browsed around for a bit. It wasn't exactly the greatest, but there wasn't anything noticeably wrong with it. I don't know much about screen readers yet, though I'm trying to learn, but from what I thought it basically just reads the text on the screen, so if the text is descriptive and accurate, I can't see how it would be inaccessible.

Maybe somebody could fill me in on what is inaccessible to the blind on that site, but I couldn't necessarily find anything too blaring.

Also, if this goes farther, does that mean that any website on the internet could be sued for not being blind accessible, or at least any commercial website. What could this mean for all of the web developers out there. If our sites are no more accessible than Target (which I personally couldn't find anything too wrong on their website after a quick look), then does that mean that we could be sued?

What would happen if the government starts setting web-standards, instead of groups like W3C?

This could become a big deal for us.
