Hi,

The recent post about testing with alternative user agents is really
pertinent to us at this time. While our department currently has an
initiative underway to make externally accessible websites W3C compliant as
far as accessibility is concerned, we are toying with the issue of how to
formally test each site... a sort of formal internal "sign-off" if you will.

What have some people used or proposed as a strategy for testing sites to
ensure their compliance?
