Hi, Technique H49 (Using semantic markup to mark emphasized or special text), which is currently not associated with a success criterion, contains an example with sub and sup elements. Sub and sup are also in the test procedures. However, I just read in a report on accessibility of mathematics and science that screen readers can't tell the difference between sub and sup, so s<sup>n</sup> and s<sub>n</sub> are both rendered the same on a Braille display, namely as "an". I think we should do some tests for screen reader support (both Braille and speech), and possibly adapt the user agent and assistive technology support notes.
