Best addressed that way, probably, but I do kind of love the idea of using
attention to security as hack to get more attention to accessibility.
Clever!

It's pretty easy to see a slippery slope on this ("If we start making any
sort of UI recommendations, would we need to do that everywhere?  doesn't
it make more sense to do it nowhere instead?") but I am *awfully* curious
now whether periodic non-normative accessibility reminders and suggestions
in specs might have a positive impact.
