This actually is the reason for 7.1 "Until user agents allow users to
control
flickering, avoid causing the screen to flicker".

Some information about what screenreaders (or other software) have problems
with this would be good...

  This probably falls under the current
  "7.4 Until user agents provide the ability to stop the refresh, do not
  create periodically auto-refreshing pages. "
  But perhaps should be covered more specifically somewhere -
  I recently encountered a web page that uses JavaScript to display a clock
  that updates continuously. For slightly older screen readers this draws
the
  attention of the screen reader making it immpossible to get to the page
  content.
