+            The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 specification [[WCAG21]] includes a Success Criterion (<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#orientation">SC 1.3.4</a>) related to screen orientation.

+        <p>
+            ​The intent of this Success Criterion is to ensure that all content and functionality is available regardless of the display
+            orientation (portrait or landscape). Some websites and applications automatically set the screen to a particular display
+            orientation and expect that users will respond by rotating their device to match.

+            However, some users may have their devices mounted in a fixed orientation (e.g. on the arm of a power wheelchair). Therefore,
+            websites and applications need to support both orientations by making sure content and functionality is available in

... and they should be mindful not to set an orientation unless it's absolutely [essential](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#dfn-essential).
