Re: Query regarding 1.3.4

The reason I thought change in orientation would be a fail was: "...and operation ...".

> Content does not restrict its view and operation to a single display orientation

Operation of a device designed to be used in either orientation includes, it seems reasonable to conclude, changing that orientation.

Looking at the detailed explanation, it looks to me that this rule is
about people who are unable to change the orientation, so I don't think
it fails accessibility if things break on a change of orientation, as
long as they work in either orientation, initially.

It's probably a usability failure, but usability failures are not
considered accessibility failures if they affect able and disabled equally.
