I think there are two issues here. 1. The success criterion says that content "is not designed to flicker or flash...". If "not designed to" is interpreted to mean "does not contain markup, code etc., for the purpose of causing it to flicker", then I can think of no reason why that wouldn't be testable. 2. There is a separate issue regarding patterns etc., that do not amount to flicker but can cause seizures, into which, as I remember, Gregg is hoping to conduct research. This aspect of the problem currently isn't covered by our checkpoint and does raise "testability" concerns. Thus I think the current success criteria are testable as long as we interpret "is not designed to" as suggested. Issue 2 (in the above discussion) would in that case still be open though. Comments?
