I'd say that it should end there. Those are pretty minor things...typically
just reading through some documentation. Much more important, IMHO, is
understanding the overall philosphy of the web and how the medium lends
itself to accessible content distribution.

I'd rather have an employee that embraces that and is willing to experiement
as needed to get those results rather than someone that can recite some
generic documentation.

Maybe to start with, just ask them if they are on the WebAIM mailing list.
