What do *you* think?
[Jason] I would like to read the proposed success criterion before deciding. Note that the concept of a user agent (Guideline 4.1) is defined. See User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0:
β€œIn this document, the term "user agent" is used in two ways:
list of 2 items nesting level 1
1. The software and documentation components that together, conform
to the requirements of this document. This is the most common use of the term in this document and is the usage in the checkpoints.
2. Any software that retrieves and renders Web content for users. This may include Web browsers, media players,
plug-ins , and other programs β€” including assistive technologies β€” that help in retrieving and rendering Web content.”
https://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG10/glossary.html#terms


Thus, to fit under Principle 4, the issue must relate to compatibility with user agents as so defined.
