However, note that when taking this interpretation, you're going beyond what the normative requirement of WCAG 2.0 is - so your results (in the case of a formal audit report against WCAG 2.0) won't be correct. As others have noted, WCAG 2.1 will plug this gap, but when auditing against WCAG 2.0, you can't mark anything other than contrast issues of text vs background as a fail. P -- Patrick H.
