Re: Query regarding 1.3.4

Except that it doesn't impact all users equally, Andrew,  as I pointed out
in my example with a user with partial paralysis. Any user who takes a long
time and/or incurs a significant cognitive load in completing work on a
poorly rendered page after orientation change will be disproportionately
impacted.

It seemed in the WCAG 2.1 and in the WCAG 2.2 process in which I
participated, we were always having to change rules to exempt accessibility
errors that would be caused by known issues with browsers.  I think it
hurts the resulting Success Criteria to make these exceptions.  This SC is
a prime example of what I call Accessibility Dark Patterns.  I'm adding
"use Refresh button to abandon the task to fix accessibility problems" as
the latest entry to my growing list.
