L'ODF Accessibility Evalator è in alpha, ma senza dubbio si tratta di
uno strumento importante che comincia a segnare la strada
dell'accessibilità dei documenti. Sarebbe bello se Microsoft facesse
la stessa cosa con OOXML, però non mi sembra esistano strumenti
analoghi per i documenti Office.

La Firefox Accessibility Extension/ARIA è in beta, ma ha una serie di
caratteristiche davvero interessanti:

1.  Support for Firefox 3.0, but there are still some outstanding
compatibility issues, some of the follwing features may not work
correctly.
2. Scripting: List of ARIA Roles and properties based on RDF and
appears in a sidebar. The
URL:http://www.w3.org/2005/01/wai-rdf/GUIRoleTaxonomy# is parsed and
the details of each role are displayed in the sidebar.
3. Scripting: List of ARIA Widgets has been modified to report widgets
that contain invalid attributes or attribute values. States must be in
the form "aria-", 'aaa:' is no longer supported.
4. Scripting: Focus Inspector feature has been added. The focus
inspector displays accessibility information about the element with
keyboard focus.
5. Style: Color Contrast analysis based on the WCACG 2.0 color
contrast requirements as implemented in the Juicy Studio: Colour
Contrast Analyzer Firefox Extension, has been added. The color
contrast analyzer only examines the difference between foreground and
background colors for text content, so won't detect scenarios where
text is written over the top of a background image or images that
include text.
6. Style: Text Flow has been added, it will report when text will flow
poorly on screen resolutions below to equal to 1024 x 768.
7. Validators: W3C Specifications has been added, it will report W3C
specifications, such as missing DOCTYPE, and missing character
encoding.
8. New pages are opened in a new window or tab according to the
browsers preferences.
9. Reports: Accessibility problems and issues report has been added,
it will report accessibility failures, warning and suggestions based
on the iCITA HTML Best practices. Clicking on an issue will open up
the corresponding dialog.

Uscirà qualcosa di analogo anche per Explorer?
