Accessibility References and Resources

There isn't a clear demarcation between usability resources and accessiblity resources. A usable website is more likely to meet accessibility guidelines and most accessible websites meet usability criteria. Nevertheless, in an effort to organize this page I have divided the resources into usability and accessibility sections.

Accessibility Standards, Guidelines, and Regulations

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0

CSS and Accessibility

The use of Cascading Style Sheets in web design is highly recommended by the W3C and the Web Accessibility Inititative (WAI). In The Accessibility Features of CSS the WAI lays out the advantages of using CSS for design.
They state:

CSS benefits accessibility primarily by separating document structure from presentation. Style sheets were designed to allow precise control - outside of markup - of character spacing, text alignment, object position on the page, audio and speech output, font characteristics, etc. By separating style from markup, authors can simplify and clean up the HTML in their documents, making the documents more accessible at the same time.

The following CSS references are not focused on accessibility, but do provide layouts, techniques, and tutorials for using CSS in an intelligent and effective manner.

Web Pages aren't Printed on Paper, Or how I gave up trying to "control" web pages and discovered adaptability
Accessibility is one of the virtues of designing for adaptability that Jim Allsopp mentions in this article. The page also has links to CSS resources, tutorials, books and more.
