It's a great idea and forward-thinking goal for LedgerSMB's target audience.
Some types of business will realize they are obliged to pursue 508 compliance
once options are available to them.

I recommend looking to the Plone project for accessibility strategy and
XHTML/CSS inspirations, they've achieved a high level of accessibility, and
secondary benefits that come with compliant markup.
Example: view http://plone.org with CSS turned off.
Also notice near-complete absence of HTML table elements (they needed one to
render columns in IE), in favor of divs, lists and definition lists. This kind
of markup is very usable in lynx/elinks (and auditory screenreaders).
