For the touch scenario (where a native app can completely override Touch 
AT's gesture recognition), this is arguably covered by

"If technologies are used in a way that is not accessibility supported, 
or if they are used in a non-conforming way, then they do not block the 
ability of users to access the rest of the page."

However, it's not clearly called out, and ensuring that (particularly 
touch) AT isn't blocked/circumvented is not explicitly covered in the 
list of SCs that still need to apply to all page content (1.4.2, 2.1.2, 
2.3.1, 2.2.2).

I'm wondering if we should add this concern (that we think the SC we're 
proposing *may* already be covered by this clause 5) to our description 
of the SC as a note to the working group. Having said all that, not 
having an SC and instead having the concern addressed by wording that's 
admittedly buried a bit is not ideal...I know many developers who will 
simply go through the list of actual SCs and never bother to read the 
additional stuff...
