Accessibility evaluation tool WAVE

[Michael S Elledge]

I've found WebAIM to be a great resource, and the WAVE to be a useful 
tool, although it doesn't seem to provide the depth of analysis that the 
U-Toronto Accessibility Checker provides (that can be either a drawback 
or a benefit, depending on the circumstances  :-) ) .
