I know some Microsoft #a11y folks follow me here: the Accessibility Assistant for Word is all well and good, but the absolutely wretched Style mechanics and Word->accessible PDF workflows have been borked for years and are directly responsible for generating enormous quantities of inaccessible content. Detecting contrast errors comes absolutely nowhere close to covering the waterfront. And I wish journalists covering this stuff would be more skeptical. https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/9/23632562/microsoft-accessibility-assistant-365-office-ability-summit
