Hi Caty and all, Thanks for this investigation. I’ve checked the links you gave and checked out a lot of them.
The best one I’ve seen and the best candidate I've found is http://squizlabs.github.io/HTML_CodeSniffer/ It's under a BSD license, maintained, and working well from the tests I've done on myxwiki.org and xwiki.org. It's in JS (normal and BTW our current WCAG validator is missing checks because of that) and can be run standalone on the command line with a headless browser (PhantomJS for ex). See https://github.com/squizlabs/HTML_CodeSniffer Note that it’s also the tool used by CKEditor’s Accessibility Checker AFAIK.
