It is not about ease of use for normal people (who don't understand how their applications work). Making an accessible website is the act of making your website accessible by those with disabilities. What you are talking about isn't accessibility but is usability. This is the difference between [url=http://www.useit.com]Jacob Nielsen[/url] and [url=http://www.joeclark.org/]Joe Clark[/url]. It is a somewhat important distinction. Although making a usable website often includes also making it accessible. For accessiblity linking to an image alone is not really a nice thing to do. By doing that you do not provide alt text. Unless you give a nice side by side description of the image and then link to the bigger one. But most times linking to an image isn't all that nice if you want to be accessible. Sorry for the rant, it is one I had to make often to my designers, as well as to content creaters who didn't like to hear that their 500 page PDF wasn't an accessible document and that I require a text only version as well.
