Sorry for the long post, but it does all
belong together ... I hope it does not
exceed any post limits, if any ;=))

In fact I decided to drop it onto my web site
instead, since I could also add some other
pieces I want to keep ... and they really
added to the size ...

The longer term goal would be to have Tidy
'pass' all the accessibility test suite, but
the first part of this is understanding the
access test suite as it presently stands in
the CVS source ...

I have compared the CVS accessibility suite,
in the test/accessTest folder, with those on
the site -

http://www.aprompt.ca/Tidy/accessibilitychecks.html

and find a considerable number of (relatively
small) differences, which I would like to correct.

But first, some questions ... on my web site -

http://www.geoffmclane.com/tidy/access01.htm

In general, I would say the code changes to get it
all working are relatively minor, and in no way
effects tidy parsing or html/xml output ... and
are ONLY done if requested from the command line
and compiled with SUPPORT_ACCESSIBILITY_CHECKS ...

I would also check that this can be 'turned off',
and Tidy still compile cleanly ...

Maybe others are already working on fuller support
for WCAG 2.0 ...

Looking forward to further feedback ...

Regards,

Geoff.
