I don’t think that we can presume knowledge or intent in the SC. How can you possibly draw a line between mistakes made in code by someone who presumably knows what they are doing vs. an issue created by someone who doesn’t know what they are doing? I can make a mistake in code when assigning a label or assigning alternative text: <label for=“abc>Name</label><input type=“text"> <img src=“home.png” alt=“home> Or I can omit a label or alt attribute: Name <input type=“text"> <img src=“home.png”> I’d call these 4.1.2 and 1.1.1 issues, respectively. Sure, the first pair are also 4.1.1 issues, but does that make a difference? If the issue is flagged as a problem so it can be addressed, isn’t that the goal?
