"The text alternatives document [1] has a number of places where it says "accessibility supported".  As in "Once figure and figcaption are accessibility supported...".  Is this a term that we use a lot?  Is it well defined / known?  It feels awkward to me and it isn't in the glossary.  Thoughts?"

 

It's a term defined in WCAG [2]. That said, I don't think it's widely used or widely understood for that matter.
