He thinks that G14: Ensuring that color encoded information is also available in text is too restrictive to be part of 1.3.2. He proposes associating G14 with 1.3.4 instead of 1.3.2 and adding a technique for 1.3.2 where red H3 headings are underlined and green H3 headings are italicized. The question is: do we think that underlining or italicizing something meets the 1.3.2 success criteria that the "information conveyed by the color" is "visually" evident without color? </quote> At first sight, the proposed technique meets SC 1.3.2. The problem is: if the colours, underlining and italics are done with CSS, and the user browses with a "user style sheet", then all the effects are lost. (On the other hand, user style sheets are not the responsibility of the content author.) At Level 1, the italics and underlining don't need to be conveyed in text or programmatically determined.
