[theme-reviewers] Accessibility Auditing of themes progress

[Kirk Wight]

Great job Joe, very detailed and specific.

Can you post an example/download of a theme that would meet all of these
requirements, if you know of one? I have a hard time imagining how various
sections would be implemented (Link Text, Keyboard Navigation and Skip
Links are my first questions marks). Seeing actual code would really help
imagining the work that would be involved in reviewing a theme of this
nature.

Thanks for all of your work!
