Comment LC-917

Comment:

and how about systems that adapt their gui to the behavior of the specif user or of a group of similar users? (for example because the user agent sends an ID to the server that identifies the user as a blind person?) are these non conformant websites?

Resolution - Pending Response:

This success criterion applies to the logical order and default presentation of the content. This success criterion does not prohibit choices in adaptive interfaces; enabling adaptive interfaces and alternate presentations is a goal of WCAG2. However, the user still needs to initiate the change in order, even if the change is initiated by global actions such as selecting preferences in a user agent or using a user agent with adaptive behavior. We have added this explanation to the Intent Section of the How To Meet document.
