More so, in stark contrast to Flash, his site is accessible to screen readers, search engines and older browsers.

As others have said most flash sites of this kind did the exact same hack and provided an HTML fallback that used JS to replace the fallback div with the correct Object/embed for the browser.
Not accessible enough: I see only the black screen on my Opera Mini.
Back in the days , making a flash site meant making an accessible fallback as well, and i always designed a pure html fallback for each full flash website i made ,Heavy javascript sites are not accessible by magic.

The irony is this site would have been smoother using flash. On my mack , this webiste is pretty slow and hard to use.
