   Sprungmarker has created the Accessible 1.0 child theme for Twenty 10 that adds basic accessibility improvements to the default theme. The linked site is a demo of the child theme.

   I propose that these improvements are merged into the core Twenty Ten theme maintained by the WordPress community and provided with WordPress. Here are some of the advantages I see.

   • Adds accessibility features without any negative impact on the theme
   • Provides general usability improvements like decent keyboard access and better contrast
   • Improves accessibility according to latest W3C standards - e.g WCAG 2.0 and WAI ARIA
   • Adding accessibility means more people will have immediate access to more WP instances
   • Default theme will provide a useful example of accessibly for new theme developers
   • Accessibility is now a legal a requirement, but not so easy to get right
   • Other CMSs like Drupal are rapidly improving accessibility features in order to meet this demand

   If you need help with a bug/patch I am happy to help out.
