With the usual caveat that automated testing tools can flag up false
positives and false negatives (for instance, on one site I just ran
through the free sitesifter service, it flagged the lack of
Content-Language in the HTTP header as a problem, while ignoring the
fact that the language is set with both lang="en" and xml:lang="en" in
the actual document).

Particularly in the case of the tech-agnostic WCAG 2, automated tools
can only really check the machine-checkable parts, and there only using
an interpretation of the WCAG 2 Techniques document for a specific
subset of technologies.
