My issue with point of regard is that it would be difficult to test ... perhaps it could be something like.... less than xxxx pixels from the point of focus. However, I understand that the Point of regard may not be anywhere near the focus, which would make defining it in a testable way harder...

Would it be too strong to require the author to mark as important any sufficiently significant change to a user interface component that does not have focus? Sufficiently significant would include, at least, changes caused by a user’s action, and certain other changes as well, according to a yet to be defined criterion.

If the point of regard just happens to coincide with the location of the change, that’s just good fortune so far as the user is concerned, but it shouldn’t affect the requirement that the author needs to meet.
