Accessibility
What is the maximum font size and does text re-flow when you enlarge the font?

Can a user change background/foreground colours or contrasts? How?
Yes, using standard browser controls.
Are there keyboard-only equivalents for all mouse actions? Where could I find a list? Are there short cut keys to reduce tabbing round links?
Yes.
Is text marked up so it can be navigated in a meaningful way (for example by heading level)?
Yes.
Can text be selected and read by text-to-speech tools?
Yes.
Are text descriptions available for all relevant graphics and images?
Yes.
Where can I find guidance for all these features?
