Is Frontpage 2003 ATAG compliant?

Hello, I need to know whether - and to what level - Frontpage 2003 complies
with the W3C ATAG 1 and/or 2 specification. Has Frontpage been tested for
ATAG (Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines) compliance? Can someone point
me to results? It's a good tool, and I suspect it is compliant but my
managers want to see proof.

Please help.

ATAG conformance evaluations were done for FrontPage 2000 and FrontPage
2002, using ATAG 1.0 as the criteria. If a conformance evaluation has been
done for FrontPage 2003, the results have not been published; they would
appear on this page: http://www.w3.org/WAI/AU/2002/tools ATAG 2.0 is still
a working draft.

There is a VPAT for FrontPage 2003; the link is on this page:

Thanks very much Kathleen, I'll keep watch on that W3C page for an
evaluation. I thought this was the case, and apologies about the ATAG2
question, it's hardly fair to expect a published test against a draft spec.
