Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines

I appreciated reading the Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines; this 
document is very helpful in guiding us towards accessible tools.

I have a question about Guideline 4. It is important to assist authors in 
making accessibility a normal part of their document creation. In an authoring 
environment where users prefer to check for accessibility after a document is 
completed, would the guidelines be satisfied if the author requests checking 
when he or she is done? This has the advantage that accessibility checking 
isn't triggered every time a file is saved for back-up, but the disadvantage 
that the author might never request the check, or even be aware that the 
document needs checking.
