It would be good to give some practical suggestions OK.

How about developing generic accessible templates for common interactive
components used on public sector sites would be a quick way of making a real
difference. I'm thinking searches and list returns, contact forms,
publications lists or an accessibility page template. They would be tested
and checked by people like CFIT and then made freely available online. It
would also allow smaller agencies to get access to top notch code.

The other thing that would be good is research on the accessibility
implications of new technologies before they are introduced. Currently there
is no commercial incentive to this kind of thing.
