??? There are not — and should not be - any requirements on the user in any WCAG. These are guidelines for authors. A “mechanism is available” means that the AUTHOR knows that all users already have it (it is in all browsers ) or the author has to provide it. If there are new SC being proposed that say “ the user must provide a mechanism” (in any words) then — you are right - that is a problem and needs to be fixed.

In that way it is similar to 2.1.1 Keyboard. The user brings the keyboard, the site should enable that usage by using proper HTML inputs/links/buttons, not using dodgy event handling etc. > > Cheers, > > -Alastair
