RE: Implementations may be hard to find for ATAG2 B.2.4.4 Identify Template Accessibility (Enhanced)

Right, and the SC specifically applies only to tools that "do not include a template selection mechanism", so DreamWeaver would pass by virtue of being not applicable.

I just think it was added to cover a rather obscure edge case at Level AAA, which puts it at risk when in it comes to finding positive implementations.

Cheers,
