RE: "Error correction (Processes)" to WCAG 2.2 draft

Hi Jonathan,

> My main Question is then how we justify it's Level A when we have less strict requirements at Level A and AA.    Should we change the level of existing criteria 3.3.4 and 3.3.6 to A as well?

It's hard to directly compare the strictness, the number of instances is slightly less for one, the requirement is slightly less for the other.

We could consider changing levels, but they don't seem as closely tied as SCs such as focus visible / focus appearance. Changing the level of the others hadn't occurred to me, I think because I had assumed that the user-need was more general for 3.3.4 (i.e. across multiple disabilities), whereas the new one came specifically from COGA research.

Would you propose to adjust the SC levels? In which direction? So long as the current A/AA ones are still at A/AA I don't think others would object, it would be for the purpose of understandability/consistency.


> In addition, the understanding document states the following which is not backed up in the SC at all and thus is not enforceable.

The SC was updated quite a lot, the understanding doc might need to catch up. It is using 'should' but we could separate the aspects which are preferred rather than required by the SC. As part of the understanding document, that's relatively straightforward either side of publication.

Kind regards,
