My feedback is that Chris is ideologically reluctant to accept that some accessibility guidelines will never be machine-testable. It took hours and thousands of words of explanation before he would finally reluctantly conded that colour combinations for colour-normal visually-impaired people could not be machine-tested. Of course it's possible to test all accessibility provisions. It would be very interesting to have multiplatform, standards-compliant tools to facilitate all kinds of testing-- machine- and human-driven. But if this is a cover story to twist and deform WCAG into an undifferentiated set of machine-testable guidelines, we have a problem. > ----- Original Message ----- Yeah, nice one. 150 lines of forwarded text.
