Part of Item: Comment Type: general comment Summary of Issue: Absence of success criterion for markup/properties that prevent configuring pages/interfaces to meet accessibility needs Comment (Including rationale for any proposed change): Why is there no success criterion that deals with markup/properties that prevent users from configuring pages/interfaces to meet their accessibility needs? Many languages have the ability to lock down interfaces/visual design (such as”!important” in CSS) and doing so can have a negative impact on the level of accessibility for users who need to configure the page/interface to meet their accessibility needs (such as users that need to change the colour scheme in order to visually perceive the information). Proposed Change: Add success criterion that deals with markup/properties that prevent users from configuring pages/interfaces to meet their accessibility needs
