At the December 21 WCAG meeting I took an action item to create the
failure required by the resolution to issue 1531 [1]. I have drafted,
Failure of 1.3.1 due to using images of text to convey information without
using the appropriate markup [2] in the WCAG Wiki. I followed the format
of another 1.3.1 failure, F2: Failure of SC 1.3.1 and 1.3.4 due to using
CSS to create variations in presentation of text that conveys information
without also using the appropriate markup or text, [3] and I modified the
title to better match that failure as well.
Please review the new failure technique and comment on the title change
from "Failure of 1.3.1 due to using images of text to create style effects
without using the appropriate markup. " to "Failure of 1.3.1 due to using
images of text to <modify>convey information</modify> without using the
appropriate markup. "
