Re: CFC: Publish WCAG 2.1 FPWD

Contrast (minimum) currently only appplies to text and images of text, so

There are also textual cues and headings indicating when each criterion 
begins and ends.
Best practice, yes, it should get bumped up.

+1. Any concerns that the orange square for proposed SC does not meet
