This kind of passing reference in the Americans with Disability Act has been made obsolete by the Section 508 (of the Rehabilitation Act, not ADA) Standards for Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility, specifically 1194.22 for Web-based intranet and internet information and applications.

Personally, I have found the Lynx browser to be an effective tool for testing conformance to WCAG1 A, but it is overly restrictive for 508 1194.22.

Any good public examples of this off the top of your head?
