As more of us look at this spec, we enhance our understanding and our ability to articulate our needs. In this context Jason's comments make sense to me, though I expect we would continue to refine our outreach message. I would further note thatour a11y use cases have also only expanded since this CfC was first posted.

This may align with or build on existing work from Accessibility Conformance Testing (ACT).
