Why this matters

Language support, RTL scripts, screen-reader support for the Fact graph, translation of canon, accessibility compliance (WCAG). Easy to defer and easy to regret deferring.

Accessibility designed in late is invariably worse than accessibility designed in from the start. Fact-graph navigation is a particularly interesting accessibility question: structured data is easier to make accessible than freeform prose, but only if the surface design takes that affordance.
