If I understand the proposal correctly, It think it will require an incredible effort by developers, a huge ask.

That’s what I thought as well. Plus the comments about how do you know if you’ve passed, who chooses the taxonomy etc.

Also, this is rather misleading:

With the proposed narrow scope, it would be pretty easy to knock up a script (or extension) to show icons next to, instead of, or over (on-hover) for the few dozen items it applies to. It is on the same level as the text-adaption (if it doesn’t impact layout), which is one of the reasons I’m in favour.

Whichever way you look at it there is some user-side tech needed, but I’m flummoxed as to why there is argument to make it more complex.
