All,

I intend to make wicket more accessibility compliant (WCAG 2.2 AA) in
the coming releases, which should benefit all downstream applications
to comply with laws and regulations regarding accessibility.

The first step is doing an audit on the wicket code for accessibility.
This was performed in this PR and it has the findings in the comment:
https://github.com/apache/wicket/issues/1838#issuecomment-6705995932

>From this a couple of fixes are under way.

The first one is adding lang and dir (direction) attributes to the
<html> tag. This will affect all output, so golden files (like we have
in wicket tests) will break unless you already were compliant. The
idea is to take the language from the session, and use the direction
detection from the session as well.  More information here:
https://github.com/apache/wicket/pull/1870

The second is adding a chapter on accessibility in the user reference.
This is PR https://github.com/apache/wicket/pull/1847

Please review and provide feedback.

Thanks!

Martijn
