Re: sampling pages

Great point Lisa.

To my mind, there are fundamentally 2 types of  'accessibility' issues:
what I call "mechanical" (templates and source-code related concerns) and
"editorial" (which also encompasses issues related to color usage, sensory
perception as well as things like error messages and other authoring
considerations).

Representative sampling is a great mechanism for the first type of
concerns, but I agree that for the other, 'sampling' will likely have
limited (but not NO) value - it won't catch all issues, but will start to
give us a sense of those editorial considerations. It strikes me then that
the question before us is, in the absence of "perfect" where do we draw the
"acceptable" line?
