Re: CMS Differentiating Factors - WAI Validators

Hi,

Quite a number of decent mid-tier solutions have similar WAI 
functionality, but something to be careful about is that just because 
your site have valid code doesn't mean it is accessible. Actually for 
people buying a CMS this can be misleading, as they see that the CMS is  
WAI-AAA compliant, has lots of WAI-AAA validation features and then 
mentally tick that functional box while forgetting about the 
non-technical WAI requirements and other best practice advice (which is 
often more important).

Here is an interesting article on the subject:
