Sorry, but this cannot be totally correct. I failed to articulate this well on the call. If the arbitrary use of AT can be assumed to satisfy SC, then 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) (and 1.4.6 Contrast (enhanced)) is trivially always satisfied because of AT products like ZoomText and MAGic (since they can be used to increase contrast). I am going to through the SC and see if I spot others that are essentially nullified if the use of AT can be arbitrarily assumed. ________________________________ From: Gregg Vanderheiden [gv@trace.wisc.edu] Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2012 6:09 PM To: Peter Korn Cc: Hoffman, Allen; Andrew Kirkpatrick; David MacDonald; public-wcag2ict-tf@w3.org Subject: Re: Interaction Context The WCAG WG just passed the following resolution RESOLUTION: add the note... NOTE: With the exception of one success criterion (1.4.4 - that specifically mentions that the effect specified by the success criterion must be achieved without relying on an assistive technology) authors can meet the success criteria with content that assumes use of an assistive technology (or access features in use agents) by the user, where such assistive technologies (or access features in user agents) exist and are available to the user.
