Why not convert a test document and run it through Bobby or another
accessibility validator and then write a customization layer to fix
the accessibility problems. For HTML you can also use CSS to correct
some of the defficiencies.

Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Docbook xsl stylesheets and accessibility
requirements?


Hi there,

 I'm planning on using the 1.59.2 DocBook xsl stylesheets to create
HTML, PDF, and HTML help renditions. (Thank you, Norm!!)  I'll need
to ensure that they meet certain standards for accessibility:
* W3C recommendation: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0
(<http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WAI-WEBCONTENT-19990505>).
* Section 508 (http://www.section508.gov
<http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WAI-WEBCONTENT-19990505>).

Is there any documentation out there about how these transformations
meet or don't meet these requirements?  I'll need to create
configurations or customizations to ensure the requriements are met.

Thank you,
- --Trish
