Be careful about using Bobby as a way of catching possible access issues.
The latest version has been so watered down that it says no issues exist
where they in fact do.  I would go with the www.w3.org/wai developers tools
before I would use Bobby.  My experience with it in its most recent
incarnation is unsatisfactory.  We gave up on it as a web design tool at
least until it is improved.
