I'll also add that I often find engineers who, when auditing, immediately flag all sorts of things as "this should be a list, so fails 1.3.1". Three links to social media in the footer, visually just three circles next to each other for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn? "Oh, they didn't mark that up as a list, so it fails". I'd argue that no, they don't fail. Sometimes three adjacent links are just that...three adjacent links. And lists seem to be particularly insidious...once you look hard enough, EVERYTHING can potentially be seen as a list (and conversely flagged as a failure when no list markup is present), but you should really still use your judgement/nuance when evaluating (and really think hard about whether or not something does indeed "visually convey" that it is a list or not). As I said...sometimes a cigar is just a cigar... P -- Patrick H.
