I've been in communication with Dr. Harding (one of the people who helped write that article as well as a textbook [0] on the subject). I blind cc'ed him on the message to see if he could help. >BTW, is this now a WCAG issue? it's always been a WCAG issue. It's a WCAG 1.0 checkpoint [1] and thus was incorporated into WCAG 2.0 [2]. I sent the question to this list since WCAG is trying to figure out methods to test to add to our success criteria. --wendy [0] Harding, G. F. A. & Jeavons, P. M. Photosensitive Epilepsy.
