I would suggest that you write and post an accessibility policy on your
site, adding a link at the bottom of your page.

A woderfull example may be found on the 14th Chapter of the book of Joe
Clark, under the undertitle "Writing and posting the policy" which is also
online::

I am also aware of this problem with Bobby, so I would recommend you to try
another validator company as UsableNet or other, who provide unlimited free
evaluations and logos for your page.

I personally use the logos of W3C/WAI.
