Good afternoon,

Curious if any of the testing tools being discussed can be scripted to perform 
accessibility testing.  This might require a bit of thought about what needs to 
be tested, but since accessibility is in many (but not all) ways machine 
determinable it would be a great idea if possible.  I'd be happy to contribute 
to discussions and coding accessibility tests.

Thanks,
