Hi Tom,

Interesting point :)

Code level conformance is important, don't get me wrong, but it is just one facet. "The gargle is fruit bear" is a sentence that parses according to the rules of English, yet fails comprehensibility. A human analyst has to make that call.

Now, as to tools :) I use Total Validator - the pay-for-license pro version does a reasonable job of code level conformance checking against WCAGs 1 and 2 (my area of interest).  It's not perfect (I don't know of a tool that does not yield false positives - anyone?) but it gives a good rough indication of issue numbers. 

Best regards, Andrew
