Forrest is still quite young, so there are known issues.
Standards compliance is a definite major goal. Please send patches
for the Forrest skin stylesheets to ensure such compliance.

There are actually many accessibility issues with the heavy use of
tables and images. These skins are gradually being improved.

<p>Issues ...</p>
<ol>
<li>
Priority 1: alt text for images.
</li>
<li>Priority 2:
<a href="http://bobby.watchfire.com/bobby/html/en/gls/g41.html">Explicitly
associate form controls and their labels with the LABEL element</a>.
Perhaps we could have a label hidden with CSS?</li>
<li>FIXME: need to list other issues here, or attend to them.</li>

<div class="note">
<div class="label">Note</div>
<div class="content">The forrest-site skin does not have any missing alts. Perhaps Bobby
does not like the trick with empty alt attributes. However, it only
complains about the two in the footer, and not about the other 40.</div>
