Re: Tweak 2.5.3

The WCAG used the following formulation   (if this is helpful to you ) 

The SC needs to be met by the web page  with the assumption that the user is using commonly available AT and access features commonly available in browsers.

The "programmatically determined” phrase is key to the AT support.  Anything where the SC addressed a problem through AT - the term programmatically determined was use to cover both AT and access features in browsers.

But, whether or not such a criteria is enforced on a given platform in a given situation, etc.  If you want to go out there and test every criteria against all combinations of browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer (6, 7, 8, 9)) against all possible ATs (Jaws, NVDA, VoiceOver, ChromeVox, TalkBack, VoiceOver (iOS)) you are never going to have 100% compliance.  Are you suggesting we scrap all of WCag because nobody can possible conform?
