Re: Color Contrast (was RE: Coming to a decision on 2.2 - which has long since been lost in this thread)

I agree that this is correct:
IF SC2.1.1 = FAIL
     THEN SC 2.4.7 = Not Applicable

But in terms of reporting, if a client was going to fail 2.4.7 if they fixed 2.1.1, I would report that as well.

Otherwise they would complete their updates and still not have everything done. (I guess that might be an advantage if you make money from re-tests, but I would find that uncomfortable.)

I’m not sure that is something that WCAG should worry about, it is more about professional reporting.

Hi Gregg,

Yes in theory, but there are also times when reporting all SC failures (say, into a bug tracker) is also preferable (or at least desirable), so the answer isn’t always black or white there: it depends on how any one person is using the results of a given Success Criteria.
