STEP508 is not "another checker" - it's a tool for prioritizing the errors
that other checkers tell you about.
It was clearly explained on the web site:
What specifically does STEP508 do?
STEP508 uses the output of accessibility evaluation tools (such as
Bobby, LIFT, etc.) and
Compares the results of these evaluations (how your site
performed on Bobby vs. LIFT, etc.)
Prioritizes the errors/accessibility problems that were
identified (identifies the errors that are most critical to
fix to make your site accessible)
Tracks the progress of your accessibility repair efforts over
time (gives you a baseline "score" and provides metrics to
quantitatively monitor/report your improvements)
It was built by WGBH/NCAM and others

Phill Jenkins
