They’re not accessible to many people. While they don't fail 4.1.2, they already fail other criteria like 3.3.2: Labels or Instructions (A). So not sure the status quo needs shaking up here? My concern is primarily about accurately reflecting which of the SCs are failing, and 4.1.2 ain't it. P -- Patrick H.
