No - you still need to rule out images of text - because those are pixels. Captions? would be nice to change. What I meant though was the “if the technology allows” can be dropped. Then the AAA provision essentially becomes “do not use technologies that don’t allow”. That of course would have to be at level AAA and is only allowed there because we say that AAA should never be REQUIRED — because we have a lot of testable but not universally applicable SC down in level AAA. g Gregg C Vanderheiden greggvan@umd.edu > On Apr 15, 2017, at 3:08 PM, Laura Carlson <laura.lee.carlson@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Gregg, > > You wrote: > >> now at level AAA you can have an identical one that does not have the IF >> clause in front of it.
