Accessibility doesn't exist in a vacuum -- this should either say "to which audiences the site is accessible or inaccessible" or "if a Web site is in compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines." I think the latter phrase is closer to the work that's been done. >to make it easier for Web content developers to repair inaccessible Web sites. >The working group does this by maintaining a list of existing tools, developing new tools, and documenting techniques that tools may implement. Hmm. Still thinking about this one.
