"I have placed the three outstanding LV Issues 95 (Variable Background Color
Contrast), 96 (Graphic Contrast) and 98 (Shadow Contrast) on the use case
list of the LVTF. Some may simply require new techniques, but some cases
may require an extension of WCAG 2.0. The graphic text contrast issue is
one such contrast. Do all existing sites that pass WCAG 2.0 now with low
contrast graphics text suddenly fail? The other two items are more complex.
There is the simple case of gradient (which isn't that simple to test), the
case of background images, and time changing background images. I have
worked with shadow text, and we need more testing to determine contrast
levels and thickness for shadowing.
Some of the issues that these relate to are: need for simple background,
processing of fine detail, access to alt-text for low vision and a few
others. Some modifications will fall into the WCAG 2.0 framework, but it
is likely that others may not."
