HTML is not an accessibility API, it's a document mark up language.

A properly designed document or web site will be easily accessible, but this falls apart for web applications, where it's no longer enough to have mark up, because HTML has no knowledge of UI elements like menus, windows, views, buttons and their roles (links are sort of close), control groups etc.
