Draft Comment On Reporting API: Accessibility

Hi all,

Here is my draft comment on Reporting API [1] we discussed [2] on
Wednesday. Please let us know your thoughts on it.

"We see an opportunity and encourage the inclusion, as an example or
as an *extension
specification* (provided by Introduction
<https://www.w3.org/TR/reporting-1/#intro>), an *accessibility* endpoint.
The accessibility endpoint could be used by assistive technology (AT), user
agents, browser extensions/plugins, and automated web scanning tools to
report on specific failures to meet WCAG success criteria
<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/>. This may align with or build on existing
work from Accessibility Conformance Testing (ACT)
<https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/act/>.

As such, the Privacy Considerations
<https://www.w3.org/TR/reporting-1/#privacy> section should include
considerations pertaining to the disability community. For example, when AT
is used to report an issue and the site has personally identifying
information (PII), the site may need to take extra precautions for data
security, inform the user before sending the report, or disable reporting
for the session."
