Heads up.

Strictly speaking the accessibility guidelines are advisory except
where modifications
to the standard have taken place on their advice.

Therefore in any test suite there is no requirement to test for any
accessibility features
in an application conformance test suite.
Nor is there any need (since it is not a requirement) to test for
appropriate content in
a test document for document compliance.

I would appreciate a steer from the a11y subcommittee as to how this
might be addressed.

A simple solution would be that the output of this group require
applications compliance
and document compliance to test for all the a11y subcommittee recommendations.

regards
