Accessibility check: docx after remediation

Produced by office_a11y_check.py (our checker script, modelled on Microsoft Accessibility Checker rules) v1.0. This is our own script that reads the Office Open XML directly; it is modelled on the rule set of Microsoft's Accessibility Checker but it is not Microsoft's tool and its counts will not match Microsoft's exactly.

What this script does not check

Whether alt text is accurate or useful (only presence and file-name-like values).
Contrast of text over pictures, gradients, or charts; text inside images.
Meaning conveyed by colour alone, sensory characteristics, animation/timing, audio/video captions.
Correct language of individual passages (only whether a language is set).
Whether reading order is logical - it lists the order for a human to review.
Embedded charts/SmartArt internal structure, OLE objects, form controls, macros.
