Review of Open Ajax Alliance WCAG RULE Checks

HI All

I've spent a day going through the Open Ajax Alliance WCAG Checks rule set
and making notes. The OAA team has clearly done a tremendous effort and I
would like to leverage some of these these rules for WCAG, especially the
ones around ARIA which we have not completely tackled in WCAG yet. At the
bottom of the document I present a number of these failures to the group
for considerations for failures. I would place the Rule IDs in several
categories.

   1. Failures that are currently covered in WCAG
   2. Failures that I think SHOULD be required but would need consensus
   3. Failures that have exceptions listed in the rule set that are a
   little ambiguous, that would have to be carefully defined if they were to
   be proposed as common failures.
   4. Failures that have been well discussed in the WCAG group and could
   not get necessary consensus and therefore are not required by WCAG (such as
   nested headings).

I've put up a page with comments.
