Re: ZEN The Road to Enlightenment... or NOT?

Just because a site fails an automated accessibility checker does not mean that it fails to comply with WCAG AAA.

I happen to think that claiming conformance for WCAG is pointless, because:
  • There is no recognised test or awarding body
  • At least one WCAG guideline harms accessibility
I've never been a fan of validation badges, but I dislike WCAG AAA badges more than the rest. At least valid HTML can be checked.

Of the three "failures" listed, only the last one deserves to be fixed. Ironically, this error is coming from his line of validation links. Ho, ho, ho.

These links should be placed in a <ul> (which solves the problem, and makes the markup more meaningful).
