Hi Olivier, I would agree that we should pay more attention to a11y in our documentation. However, I feel the Accessibility Check tool needs additional work to raise it up to a more useable level. Just some rough basic examples: * I run the tool on some of my own documents and it shows headings for all possible issues in the document, not just those that actually do exist in the document and need consideration. Creating confusion for inexperienced users. * The dialog shows 2 instances of items where "The text formatting conveys additional meaning." is displayed, when the document actually has a total of 8 identical issues. * Clicking the "Go to issue" dialog button highlights a 1/2 special character, which tells the user absolutely nothing about the accessibility issue, IF ANY. I haven't yet checked Bugzilla, but I feel this needs to be drawn to the devs attention. You are probably aware that the "Help" button in the Accessibility Check dialog generates a 404 page error.
