Comment LC-872

Comment:

Part of Item:
Comment Type: substantive
Comment (including rationale for proposed change):

Success Criterion 2.4.4 should be at level 1 and is currently at level 2. Good link text is very important for people with visual impairments as well as people with cognitive impairments. Poor link text was identified as a key problem in the DRC report (http://www.drc-gb.org/PDF/2.pdf). Good link text is at least as important as skip-navigation links which is at level 1.

Proposed Change:

Move SC 2.4.4 to level 1.

Resolution - Pending Response:

This success criterion has been moved to level A because without it, it requires significantly greater effort (and keystrokes) for assistive technology users to determine link context.
