Definitely not, but as the OP wrote, you don't start at the HTML5 spec if you want to learn to make web pages. Learning to use a screen reader and actually testing sites with it is not only a very important skill to have, but it will give developers more insight and perspective into accessibility. Standards can fill in the gaps, but I believe you still need a 'wow' moment when you feel completely lost on a website.

I misinterpreted your suggestion, and appreciate the clarification.

Thanks very much for your question. I didn't realize what a horrible job of writing I did until I read your response!!
