Whose nine is it anyway? (Feedback on the WCAG 2.2 working draft)

  • This article – which I read mostly for the terrible headline – was written by TPGi, an “accessibility solutions provider”, working with a consortium of big names in a11y. TPGi feel that the 9 new Success Criteria recently proposed for WCAG 2.2 all need some clarification and improvement (with the exception of 2.5.7 Dragging Movements, which TPGi are pleased with).
  • It’s a long article of recommendations, each linking to separate GitHub issues raised by TPGi. But to take an example, some feedback for “3.3.7 Accessible Authentication” includes ensuring copy-paste is not blocked: “The “Intent” section of the non-normative Understanding document mentions that copy-paste must not be blocked, but this is not in the text of the SC. We feel it would need to be in order to ensure that it’s a requirement.”.
  • It’s fascinating to watch the community shape the WCAG standards of the future, and inspiring that any one of us has the power to propose improvements.
