The work flow doesn't exist, so I don't think it's practical.

<br></div><div>In the first case, adding the accessibility-ready tag means that we need to verify that the tag is justified. In the second case, we need to verify that the changes to the theme don't break accessibility issues - any of these child themes are making significant color scheme changes, so the color contrast of the palette needs to be re-verified. <br>
<br></div><div>I just want to make sure that people are being conscious of what the accessibility-ready tag implies for a theme, and that it really needs to get particular checking.<br><br></div><div>Best,<br>Joe<span><font color="#888888"><br>
