Response from the Working Group
================================
"Minimum" is correct in these parts of SC 1.4.6. Just as with SC
1.4.3, there is no minimum contrast requirement for text that occurs
in the situations described by the Incidental and Logotypes clauses.
So that text may have very poor contrast and still satisfy the success
criterion.

We have revised the second bullet of 1.4.3 and 1.4.6 as follows to clarify this:

Incidental:  Text or images of text that are part of an inactive user
interface component, that are pure decoration, that are not visible to
anyone, or that are part of a picture that contains significant other
visual content, have no  contrast requirement.
