Call for Review: Developers' Guide to Features of Web Accessibility Evaluation Tools Draft

Dear WAI Interest Group Participants,

WAI invites you to comment on the First Public Working Draft of:
	Developers' Guide to Features of Web Accessibility Evaluation Tools
	http://www.w3.org/TR/WAET/

Overview:
The document describes features that web authoring tools and quality assurance tools can incorporate to support web accessibility evaluation. It is useful for tool developers to get introductory guidance on these features, and is useful for people who want to compare tools, for example, during procurement. The document is intended to promote awareness of accessibility evaluation tool features and to encourage tool developers to include relevant features so that tools better support WCAG 2.0 conformance evaluation.

Draft:
This publication provides a comprehensive first draft. We particularly seek:
* suggestions for additional features to be covered, and
* feedback on the general format and approach of the document.
