Absolutely. But, on the same token, you can't pass off things that 
aren't normative failures as normative failures, and reinterpret WCAG to 
your liking to be harsher/more stringent than what it normatively is. By 
all means, flag things that aren't right, but be clear when something 
may be a normative pass, but still should be changed/amended further 
going beyond WCAG's relatively "lowest common denominator" binary 
pass/fail criteria.
