As far as I'm concerned: the Accessibility guidelines will be your group's
baby. :) If there's anything conflicting with other Guidelines, we can deal
with that. But otherwise, I'd rather your team, as the Accessibility
experts, maintain that section. So, "final review" from our end won't
consist of much.

> Any chance of a compromise here? Could we "train up" a couple of
interested and experienced theme reviewers to reduce the load? The last
thing I want to do is slow down the review process because the a11y
reviewers can't cope.

Some form of cross-training is exactly what I had in mind. ;)
