Greg, I didn’t say “conform”, I said it couldn’t be used to meet the sufficient technique per the non-normative http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/NOTE-UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20-20140916/visual-audio-contrast-scale.html:


The author cannot rely on the user agent to satisfy this Success Criterion for HTML content if users do not have access to a user agent with zoom support. For example, if they work in an environment that requires them to use IE 6.

Hi Jonathan,

Where do you see this?
A technique has no ability to say that something does not conform.   If it did it would need to be fixed.

I just went to the techniques doc to see if the needed fixing — but I don’t see anything like that there.
Where did you see it?


here is the link to G142

(perhaps you are looking at an old copy of the techniques doc?)



thanks
