Moodle 1.5.2 claims to have improved accessibility support
cf. http://download.moodle.org/ and click on the "release notes" link.

moodle.org uses 1.5.2, and I ran the Home page through a validator and
the WebXact accessibility checker. Numerous errors were reported,
including missing alt attribute, absolute sizing and positioning, etc.
