Is there an accessibility standard we can point to as our benchmark to
aspire to for our VLE?   We'd like to find or create a standard that we
can run checks against every so often and thereby measure our ongoing
compliance.  
 
There's the Moodle Accessibility Specification (under development) that
the OU is leading on -
http://docs.moodle.org/en/Moodle_Accessibility_Specification :  we can
try to use that or elements of it, but it doesn't seem to have been
updated for some while now, and nor does it seem to have the benefits of
simplicity.
 
There's the W3C's own HTML markup checker - http://validator.w3.org/ -
and the validator which I note moodle.org refers itself to, which gives
an instant compliance report.  
 
Any other standards, tools or validators any of you are using or can
recommend? 
 
Anyone know if there's convergence on standards other large websites can
point to?  
 
Regards,  Tony
