Fine - but innovative doesn't (and shouldn't) imply inaccessible.

You gave the impression (and maybe you *do* believe this) that there are
sites where accessibility is important, and sites where it isn't.
Accessibility is *always* important. Obviously some sites (such as ones
doing innovative things with video, whatever that means) will find it harder
to be universally Accessible-with-a-big-A than others. However, the effort
can still be made e.g. providing sub-titled versions of videos for the hard
of hearing.
