Can I request that a second CfC go out that explicitly states that "we should not allow user testing in exceptions" - for the same reasons that user-testing for conformance was rejected?
[Jason] Exceptions are part of conformance, and I would interpret the prior CfC as excluding exceptions in normative text of WCAG that depend on undertaking user testing.
If it comes to another CfC, I’ll be supporting a position that disallows such exceptions: whether content conforms or not should be decidable without having to engage in user testing.
