I looked into this and it seems the minimum requirements for reflowable epub3 books without scripts and multimedia files aren't actually that hard. All I had to do is:
1. Add the following section to the .opf metadata section:
Code:
<meta property="schema:accessibilitySummary">This publication conforms to WCAG 2.0 AA.</meta>
<meta property="schema:accessMode">textual</meta>
<meta property="schema:accessMode">visual</meta>
<meta property="schema:accessModeSufficient">textual</meta>
<meta property="schema:accessibilityFeature">structuralNavigation</meta
2. Add language attributes to all <html> tags.
3. Add chapter titles to empty <title></title> tags.
4. Add descriptions to empty <img> tag alt attributes.
5. Add role attributes to all tags with
epub:type attributes that have an ARIA role equivalent.

Does your in-house tool implement any other fixes that I've missed?

I've updated a very simple
MR epub3 book to make it WCAG 2.0 AA compatible. (Its only epub3-only feature is page numbers.)
