Re: Obscure images as labels

I completely agree with your sentiments, it has been a source of
frustration to me that WCAG is so heavily biased towards keyboard only
users (e.g. focus visible) and screen readers.

There are articles about the "Myth of the Keyboard Only User". I would like
to see more emphasis in 3.0 on pointer device accessible users and those
with cognitive impairments, which make up the vast majority of accessible
users.

Framing the above in normative, legally binding, criteria is difficult.

Clearly some icons are more universally recognisable than others, but there
would be a large grey area.
