Hi Brian, there are checkers that are starting to offer customisation features. The ones I know are either ones that cst money, or require other tools that cost money. But finally, yes, there are tools producing output in a machine readable format, there is work in the ERT group on a project called EARL (Evaluation and Report Language) which is an RDF vocabulary specially designed for reporting results like Bobby in machine readable format. And Josh Krieger and CHris Ridpath (noted for Bobby and A-prompt respectively) have just produced a tool that outputs EARL. More information is probably most easily available from the EARL homepage http://www.w3.org/2001/03/earl for people intersted in the details, or from the ER group's mailing list archives - look for example at the thread beginning at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-er-ig/2001Jul/0055 cheers Charles On Fri, 3 Aug 2001, Brian Kelly wrote: Has anyone provided standard definitions for what constitutes a page, and what action user-agent should take when such strange things happen? Are any auditing tools providing customisation over the actions they will take? Finally are any of the Web sites which provide such Web analysis features looking at going down the "Web service" route, and providing output in a machine understandable format - so that the results can be more easily post-processed?
