508 which can be validated programatically. However, there are other 508
guidelines that cannot be caught by any validator and requires human
interaction to determine.
Some items include (how your pages look to a color blind person, are the
descriptive alt tags really describing graphics, is the order in which your
page reads usable. Will your site work correctly with both CSS and
_javascript_ turned off.)
Nothing beats listening to your site in a speech browser or screen reader to
determine if a site is really accessible to blind or using other visual
tools to determine how a page looks to someone with limited vision or color
blindness.
Accessibility unfortunately (even 508) isn't something that can just be
turned over to a tool to determine.
