My experience with Accessibility Verifier is that it gives you a very broad
overview of your implementation of accessibility features. You should not
take it as gospel. Instead, look at it as nothing more than a quick way to
narrow down the issues that you might want to think about. Don't make the
mistake of thinking that you have to implement everything that Verifier
tells you is an issue.
