I was about to say this very thing, but Donna beat me to it. :)

I like Chuck Letourneau's definition, which is at the second URL
above; the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative uses the following
definition in their Web Content Accessibility Guidelines:

      "Content is accessible when it may be used by someone
       with a disability."
      http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/#glossary

Might be too simplistic and basic for reasonable use -- Chuck's
definition is annotated and very nice.
