Re: Website with known set of issues

Fine example David.
Speaking personally?
Given how many individuals, companies large and small, and organizations 
use  design  programs to create their sites, is it not long past time one 
existed to creates WCAG WCAG sites themselves?
  I mean with a tool that says something like, want to reach hundreds of 
millions of possible visitors world wide?
And when the  person needing the site hits yes, the result gives them some 
basic progressive enhancement.  Then they can be asked via this tool what 
extras  they want.
If I am honest, making it easy to produce a wCAG compliant site, without 
having to follow the policies might do wonders for actual inclusion.
Simply  use a tool like many others, and really be compliant.
