I think it is great to have serious support for this in Wicket. What
we need though is someone with enough knowledge and preferably the
intention to use this on a real project (eat dogfood) to gather the
specs of this functionality in a coherent fashion.

A good start is to open a feature request for it in JIRA and use that
as a base to work on. My hunch is that much of the accessibility
support won't be incredibly hard once we know exactly what we want.

Cheers,

Eelco
