RE: Removing 4.1.1 Parsing from WCAG 2.2

While I agree we should drop regulators, the group hasn’t decided that it will be obsoleted and until then we need something.  From what I read from others on the list there isn’t agreement that we should obsolete 4.1.1 in 2.0/2.1.  If it made obsolete, then the wording would then be updated remove it as it would not be needed if it was made obsolete.

Perhaps we could add: “Conforming to regulations that require older versions of WCAG may still require you to test and report on this criterion.”?

Not if we do what is standard practice - which is you don’t require provisions that have been deemed obsolete.   Ditto for regulators.  So I would not add this.
