This tool (http://quailjs.org/) suggested by @DelphineM is mainly javascript based, but some tests may be useful :)

And the way messages are displayed is pretty close to what i thought about some weeks ago.

I think the future of a11y.css lives in JavaScript to some point. It would open many doors to have a very polished tool.

That could be a point, however a few tools based on javascript already exists, as well as server side automation tools. We could work on another version (like a11y.js, nevermind) but I think the CSS version is still the most important.

We may open another issue (and maybe a milestone or a branch) to build a javascript based version. That won't be my higher priority but should be explored for sure.

Not so much to get back, I really like their way of documenting tests by associating them with WCAG and Section 508. But this is way too complicated to read, and form their guidelines I think we already cover every tests we can with CSS. I didn't find a single one I could add to a11y.css.

On the other hand, this is an awesome project, and I think that it's a really good Javascript tool !
