Accessibility conformance Testing (ACT) Rules Format 1.1

[daniel-montalvo]

こんにちは TAG-さん!

I'm requesting a TAG review of Accessibility Conformance Testing (ACT) Rules Format 1.1.

The purpose of the Accessibility Conformance Testing (ACT) effort is to establish and document rules for testing the conformance of web content to accessibility standards, such as Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). These test rules address automated, semi-automated, and manual testing. ACT makes accessibility testing more transparent, and thus reduces confusion caused by different interpretations of accessibility guidelines.
