Add helpful accessibility links/tips in textareas

» Add validator for accessibile text in text areas

Perhaps the code from the functional accessibility evaluator or other accessibility tools could be used to validate text content. Admins could enable/disable the feature and determine if validation was a must or validation simply produced warnings.

If no one minds, I'm going to try a hook to scan for char limits, line breaks, h1-h6 headings, things like that in content text, before publishing or revisions.

Much of this functionality is available in Accessible Content for node edit forms; however, it does not hook into any textareas that are found in admin interfaces, etc. I think it might make sense that this functionality reside in Accessible Helper - maybe you could have an admin setting to set a site-wide default guideline (from the accessible content guideline nodes) and then just use accessible_content_check_string() to check content on form submit.

Seems reasonable. I think it would make more sense to keep such functionality in accessible content. Do you not want it there? I would like see how the accessible content module could be used as an api and this is a great example case.
