Re: compatibility

Sure, but I am not sure if that is exactly what you need. (The group has a
matrix of tools that meet or fail checkpoints - it isn't complete, becuase it
is to find out if there are tools that implement them, but those are not the
same requirements as the ones for being able to rely on tools to do the right
thing for WCAG).
