BTW, one of the "challenges" (click on the link to "the complete rules" in
PDF format, see pg. 6) directly relates to accessibility:
3) Challenge: Accessibility Enhancements - Address some of the functional
deficiencies in Linux to make it more readily certifiable for
accessibility.
Prereq: Linux 2.4 Kernel.
Expected Results: Identify one or more functional deficiencies. Provide a
solution for the deficiency. Document the supporting hardware and software
environment used to provide the solution. Explain what was accomplished
toward making Linux more readily certifiable for accessibility.
