You can't "validate" it as such. The only way to truly know if it is
accessibly is to get lots of people with various abilities/disabilities
to test it.

You can't. A page is either valid or it isn't and software can check
for that. But accessibility is much more complex - for example
software can check whether an <img> tag has an alt attribute but it
can't check whether the alt attribute is a suitable alternative for
the image in question.

In context, that was a good typo. ;-)

You can answer, but I'm currently reading
<http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/www/acctools.html> that was pointed out to
me by Mark. My guess is, I find the answers there.
