Sorry to reply to this rather late, but have you taken a look at that
page with CSS off? =:^o

Wow, what a nightmare. While technically it may meet the forms-
accessibility guidelines (everything having a Label), it's hard to
imagine it being *usable* by either a screen-reader user, or a user
who replaced the default style sheet with their own for visual reasons.

So it seems like on the practical side it would fail 508 (d).
