For example, a test sample claims that Success Criterion 1.1.1 failed because the text of the ALT attribute is longer than X characters; and this limit is not specified by any technique or test procedure. This would be an interpretation (or extension) of the Guidelines and would effectively change its meaning. We want to avoid these types of issues.
