Description
This bug is to summarise (via blocking bugs, probably not sub-tasks) what accessibility issues have been fixed for Moodle 1.9 - better late than never! Some of these bugs will be improvements on 1.8 work, some will be new things we have spotted.
(See this meta-bug for accessibility in 1.8, MDL-7396.)

My TODO list (not much time left for 1.9 I suspect 
)
Quick things:
1. Help links - img ALT text should contain phrase "new window" to match link TITLE (OU/core/easy).
2. Weeks course format - dates for each section should be marked up as heading (core/easy - stylesheet). [HAVE PATCH]
3. Topics format - make "Mark this topic as the current..." ALT/titles more specific - "Mark topic 1 as the current..." (they are so long winded that they should be specific too!) (OU/core/easy). [HAVE PATCH]
4. Course resource list - forum "N unread posts" links should not be separate - should be part of main forum link (OU?/core/medium - link style implications). [HAVE PATCH]
Quick things 2:
5. User filters that appear in admin/user.php - help links are all broken (they just say "Help with "! [HAVE PATCH]
6. Calendar blocks and page need more headings. [HAVE PATCH]
Hope to have time for a partial fix:
7. Fix show/hide icon border hack for Windows High Contrast, MDL-7493.
8. Keyboard accessibility, 'accesskey' for skip to content links - needs help document too.
9. Text editor language drop-down - at least give readable language names, list is duplicated - something to do with multilang filter - needs investigation, MDL-7437.
10. Cloze/fill in the blank questions - I may get a small fix in (add ID for <label>), but can't be sure it will completely resolve this - needs more investigation, MDL-7494.
11. ALL QuickForm nested <fieldset>s - text is a <div> not a <legend> - a BIG bug
