Re: WCAG 2.2 status - Visual indicators

Hi Alastair and All

I've tried to capture these thoughts in the alternative SC language
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WhZAbswvPHs7A3stfqM_ATsaBHPeGbHtARcmaKMck1U/edit#heading=h.n5l24nbcdm9i

The plain language for the SC could be something like this, but the SC
speak is more precise at the link above.

One of the following is true

-The content doesn’t prevent a user from using a plugin that provides
adjustable borders on button and input and underlines for links
- A control on the page provides this
- Buttons and inputs have borders and links have underlines on page load.

Cheers,

David MacDonald
