Re: WCAG 2.2 SC Do Not Rely On User Memory Draft

I would consider people with learning or cognitive disabilities to be among the primary intended beneficiaries of 3.3.2 in any case. Everyone benefits from labels or instructions, but surely the lack of them would be a particular accessibility issue to some (not necessarily all) users with learning or cognitive disabilities.

It's also worth noting that 3.3.2 is under "Understanding", which is centrally concerned with cognition and therefore with the cognitive dimensions of accessibility.

The reason being is that this gives "cause" to users with cognitive disabilities. "Cause" is a legal standard that must be met, demonstrating that an individual has been harmed, in order to bring forth a lawsuit. A user who is not blind, and does not rely on braille cannot sue a compant for not providing braille materials, because that does not harm them. Although it would harm a person that is blind.

    If this aspect (of the reliance on placeholder) is already a failure of
    3.3.2, why not add that particular aspect/example - with specific
    reference to users with cognitive disabilities - directly in 3.3.2's
    understanding/techniques? You don't have to have separate SCs covering
    the same aspects for different audiences/users.
