Mike, I couldn't agree more. It's not time to panic yet.

I saw the msg; but, on the other hand, experiences of actual users will be
even more valuable.
The heads-up from the AOL exec certainly puts everyone on notice and watch;
but, many times, what someone technically views as inaccessible may well be
usable.
The problem with this whole accessability issue is that so many things that
even the "evangelists" (bothering Darrell's term) treat as so unusable,
turns out to be perfectly workable after some playing around and
brainstorming.
And often there are other ways of getting at the same stream other than that
one player.
So the way I look at this is that we have a warning presented here that
the moment that requires some vigilance and evaluation, not panic.
It is also possible that the screen reader vendors, either through scripts
or otherwise, may make this new player usable.
