this looks really useful - it would work really well with an error checker:
AccessChecker = Proc.new{|ie|
raakttest = Raakt::Test.new(ie.html)
result = raakttest.all
if result.length > 0
puts "Accessibility problems detected on #{ie.title}, #{ie.url}:"
puts result
else
puts "No measurable accessibility problems were detected."
end
}
ie = Watir::IE.start('...')
ie.add_checker( AccessChecker)
this now means that every time a page is loaded, the accessability checks
get run

Subject: [Wtr-general] Basic accessibility testing with Watir and RAAKT...
> Hi!
