Automated tools were never reliable, even in WCAG 1.0 times, as solutions are not binary accessible/not-accessible. This is even more true for WCAG 2.0 which is driven by SCs that can be achieved in a variety of known (what's documented in the informative techniques) and unknown (something that's not documented, but achieves the same end result for real users) ways. > Frankly, I think it should be a requirement as we're wanting to make things better for people to get to the content, not more difficult. However, that probably comes down to usability. Then you'd end up having to add qualifiers like "Until user agents..." to the requirements, and focus explicitly on specific markup constructs (rather than being technology-agnostic), which are both things that WCAG 2.0 tried very hard to shy away from.
