Accessibility
Drupal is Section 508 and WCAG Priority 1, 2, 3 compliant.
Strict coding standards have been used to keep Drupal's data, logic and presentation separate from each other. This means that the mark-up of all of Drupal's output is completely controlled by the application's presentation layer, known as the 'theme'.
