The recent DOJ ruling on Title II cites our work:

"Overlays

"Several comments expressed concerns about public entities using
accessibility overlays and automated checkers.369 This rule sets forth a
technical standard for public entities??? web content and mobile apps.
The rule does
+not address the internal policies or procedures that public entities
might implement to conform to the technical standard under this rule."

The DOJ ruling refused to comment on accessibility overlays and
automated checkers. Their source? Our comments. How do we know? They
reference the Accessibility at the Edge Community Group,
+https://a11yedge.github.io/capabilities/.

Footnote 369

"*See *W3C, *Overlay Capabilities Inventory: Draft Community Group
Report
