One minor clarification: there are actually two different types of  
accessibility walkthroughs. The simple protocol is designed for non- 
techies and is intended to be done during the flow of a UX  
Walkthrough. No code review required.

The comprehensive protocol requires an under-the-covers review of  
markup and the use of assistive technologies and other tools to  
verify. Not necessarily intended for all users, but very detailed.

We'll probably want to distinguish between the two and how they should  
be used. Since we don't want accessibility walkthroughs to be  
forgotten, we may want to highlight the simple protocol and suggest  
that they be done as part of the wholistic walkthrough process.
