Responder Rule assumptionsComments
Wilco Fiers Yes
Levon Spradlin Yes
Trevor Bostic Yes
Kathy Eng I don't know. My questions are documented below. "The object element is not rendered for presentational purposes." may not be necessary, or assume that decorative object elements are correctly marked as decorative.
Mary Jo Mueller I don't know. My questions are documented below. Suggested edit to the assumptions: "If the object is decorative, it is marked as such so it is rendered presentational by being marked as decorative." Then I think the second assumption sentence may not need to be there.

Responder Other questions or concernsComments
Wilco Fiers No, I have no further questions or concerns.
Levon Spradlin No, I have no further questions or concerns.
Trevor Bostic Yes, I have questions or concerns, described below. - The object element seems to automatically set autoplay for videos and audio. This becomes a problem on example where the audio or video starts autoplaying, but is either off-screen or not visible, so there are no controls to stop the media.This would be caught by the audio and video rule we have been looking at.
Kathy Eng Yes, I have questions or concerns, described below. Should Background include - Testing that the object is correctly marked as decorative is not part of this rule and must be tested separately
Mary Jo Mueller No, I have no further questions or concerns.

Mary Jo Mueller Yes, it is ready to publish with the following changes. Address the assumptions. Also looks like Trevor has some concerns to address as far as autoplay goes.
