Open Issue #102

Hi Everyone--
This is to seek your comments (toward consensus) for Issue #102 (https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/102).   

In summary, Issue #102 occurs when a browser prevents auto-redirection to a new page and doesn't provide an explanation, forwarding link or address to the user.

Point of view #1: It is a usability issue, and not specific to persons with disabilities, since everyone will have the same negative experience.
Point of view #2: It will affect PWD more significantly, so it is an accessibility issue. Mapping it to a guideline is a problem, however. Success criteria for the most relevant guideline (3.2--Predictable) are not relevant since receiving focus (SC 3.2.1) or changing a setting (SC 3.2.2) do not change context. A possibility is to add this as an Advisory Technique to 3.2 or make it a failure. 

Thoughts? Thanks!

Mike
