Although the article is very well worth your time to read since it raises many issues - such as where disabled diners are placed, where accessible restrooms (if they are really accessible) are located, how many restaurants' arrangements require other diners to move so you can get through in a wheelchair, etc. - I think includiing this list in the article is a wonderful incentive for other restaurants to try to do - better - to get our business.
