Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

Hi Morbus

Bobby approval is actually pretty non-anal - it's not
rigourous enough because all it covers are the
Priority 1 WAI guidelines (it checks for P2 & P3,
but you can get the Bobby-approved stamp for just
P1), and it only does simplified validation.

For example: It checks that your <img> tags have
alt attributes. It doesn't (and couldn't) check that the
alt description is a useful alternative text for the image.

The docs do specify this btw, and all the reports clearly
say that Bobby validation is only a first check - you'll need
to check by hand as well to followup.

Cheers
Martin
