Comment:

This technique doesn't test for anything specific in HTML. What the technique does is ensure that the indication that a field is required is part of a label element. This can very easily be generalized by stating that this indication should be part of the label (which may or may not be an html label element). That would make the technique more flexible and usable in other technologies.

WG Notes:

Resolution: Thank you for your comment. Specific techniques for indicating required fields in different technologies (HTML, ARIA, Flash and PDF) are already documented. There's also G131, "Providing descriptive labels" that documents a general technique for labeling form controls. The group also feels that there is an advantage to having an HTML-specific technique as it demonstrates how to make proper use of the HTML labeling elements for indicating require status. Based on your comment, the following text is being added to the description for G131. "The label may also be used to include a text symbol or text indicating that input is required." We are also adding a link to H90 in the related techniques section of G131.
