Comment:

 Color contrast is also an issue in some places. Most instances are
 borderline, but some are striking, like the orange “Pending” on index.php:
 its contrast is 1.88:1, while WCAG 2.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/ —
 published in Dec 2008) says the minimum is 4.5:1 (and 3:1 for large text).

 (I had opened a ticket about that blinding orange, but it somehow slipped
 into 2.7.)

 Gez Lemon has a nice “Firefox extension that reveals the colour contrast
 of all elements in the DOM”:  http://juicystudio.com/article/colour-
