Remove Software-Specific Notes from Clause 10.3.3.8 to Avoid Misapplication to Non-Web Documents

REFERENCE: Clause 10.3.3.8, Notes 3 and 4

Notes 3 and 4 from WCAG2ICT are specifically applicable to non-web software and were not intended for non-web documents. While they were not explicitly grouped under a “for non-web software” heading in WCAG2ICT, their applicability is limited to software contexts.

An issue will also be opened in WCAG2ICT to separate the non-web document specific and non-web software specific notes so this is clearer.

PROPOSED CHANGE

  • Remove Notes 3 and 4 from the table in Clause 10.3.3.8.
  • Additionally, remove the phrase “, and adding note 3” from the second Note 4 in the same table.
