I don't think that WCAG 2.0 implies that you test with all screen readers, I think rather its more about being sure that somewhere in the testing cycle preferabley after all the audimated testing is done, that some AT testing is done. No matter how good the testing tools are, we at Oracle have learned that you half to test for meaningful content. While you certainly cannot test every page in every APP, you need to do some good random testing and that at the end of the day, somebody with a good working knowledge of how to use whatever AT package you use needs to be in the testing loop.
