Too Late now but....

I think we misnamed our Closed Functionality Section

It does indeed talk about closed functionality issues / items 

But it also includes things that have nothing to do with closed functionality (i.e.,. do not relate to the ability to work with assistive technologies)

Some examples

orientation — this has to do with hardware like kiosks or wall-mounted ICT where there is no opportunity to “reorient” the screen, and so there is no reason to require that the content be reorientable.    This has nothing to do with AT
Contrast -  this again has to do with the contrast of hardware — but not AT compatibility

and there between half-a-dozen and a dozen more like that. 

The section I  think should have been titled something like   
“Other considerations when applying WCAG to non-web content”
Closed Functionality and other issues that ICT must deal with that Web Content does not”


We could included Closed functionality as a sub category 
along with  “other things that need to be handled differently when applying  to non-web ICT.” as a second…..


Not sure exactly how or what we should have called it 
and this is a week to late to be “already too late”  since we just sealed and shipped it.


But this is just a heads up — that our the name of our section is misleading and confusing until you realize it covers other things as well.

It might be useful when talking about this or encountering confusion by others with this important section. 

NO ACTION ITEM.  (just a heads up)

PS  This all came out of the application of WCAG2ICT in the EN 301 549 task force.
