WCAG includes a future technique, "Highlighting or visually emphasizing 
errors where they occur". This indicates that the WCAG WG intended this 
to be part of the scope of the particular success criterion.

Note the subtle wording "good practice to help you meet the guideline" - 
that is, not just generic good practice. I think we're in line.
