My position is also well-documented, and not a million miles from your
own. League tables, based on automated tests, claiming to reflect
accessibility? We've been here before. [1]

Without full details of what's being tested and how, they are of very
little value IMHO. Why not rename it the "Validity World Cup" and measure
something that's measurable?
