Comment LC-1223

Comment:

This seems to consist of 1.2.3 and 1.2.7. This structure, where meeting one success criterion automatically means meeting another, is rather confusing.

Proposed Change:

Add a clear explanation of relationship among related SCs, either in the WCAG or in the UW.

Resolution - Pending Response:

The success criteria are written as clearly as we know how. There are only two general techniques for making multimedia accessible to the blind: Audio Description (AD) and Full Text Alternatives. Either technique is acceptable for Level A WCAG 2.0 conformance. Audio Description is required for Level AA. Both techniques are required for Level AAA. This is a case where higher-level success criteria build upon the requirements of lower-level success criteria with the intention of having cumulative, progressively stronger, requirements.
