Thank you for your comment. As a result of our joint EOWG and WCAG meeting, we agreed to replace the text: "Publication of techniques for a specific technology does not imply that all uses of that technology will meet WCAG 2.0. Developers need to be aware of the limitations of specific technologies and provide content in ways that meets WCAG 2.0 success criteria." (found at http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/understanding-techniques.html#ut-understanding-techniques-general-tech-specific-head) with the text: Publication of techniques for a specific technology does not imply that the technology can be used in all situations to create content that meets WCAG 2.0 success criteria and conformance requirements. Developers need to be aware of the limitations of specific technologies and provide content in a way that is accessible to people with disabilities. |

Thank you for your comment. The opinion of the working group is that the color-contrast ratio of the link text when focused or hovered does not need to meet 1.4.3/1.4.6. The goal of the color contrast success criteria is to ensure that content can be read by users, so as long as the links are sufficient contrast when not focused/hovered then they will meet 1.4.3/1.4.6. It is definitely preferred that focused/hovered link text also meet the contrast ratios as this enables users to re-read and verify the target of the link, but this represents more of a usability issue as the user can easily read the link text by removing focus or moving their pointer off the link. |
