Can you make a case that a user who was using a particular technology because of a disability would have run into the same problem? Or does it have to affect you directly?
For the purposes of trying to persuade them to do better by their customers, I suspect that an impersonal argument would be fine. I suspect, but do not know, that if you take a case to court, you won't do very well unless you can show that it personally affected you. Judges don't tend to like hypotheticals and matters of principle.

Right, the plan wasn't to threaten them with a lawsuit, merely to point out they were in non-compliance if the law actually applied to them, so as to lend more weight to my "you bozos really ought to know better" argument.
Oh, I've been meaning to ask: when I surround a paragraph or a parenthetical comment with <small></small> tags, does that cause a problem for you, or do whatever overrides you use in your browser take care of it properly? (I'd figured that was safer than trying to set a percentage-based font size, and I know better than to set an absolute size based on pixels or points.)

No, my browser handles it fine, thanks. The bane of my existence is stuff like <font size="2">...</font> , and too many people out there still don't understand why that's bad. But what you're doing works fine.
