Accessibility is only one aspect of ILS. Quoting the ILS overview:

[[[
Overview

The problem: Ambiguous use of language creates problems with 
translation, misunderstandings and accessibility for cognitive 
disabilities.Translation to symbolic languages for cognitive 
disabilities can not be automated. A controlled language restricts 
author's ability to stylize and express them-selves.

Proposal: A standard for marking up typical electronic textual content, 
and referencing textual content, so that it's meaning becomes 
unambiguous, translatable and machine-readable.
]]]

What interests me is their proposed direction of XML/RDF to solve 
(essentially) miscommunication issues for business.
