Resolution status:

Comment: WCAG1, checkpoint is not reflected in WCAG 2. The WCAG 2 checklist states that this is because it is reflected in the techniques rather than the Success Criteria which are normative. Can be argued that 14.2 is as important to people with cognitive problems as 1.1 and alt text are to VI users. In WCAG one the former was a P3 that later a P1. It may be that because it is not testable that 14.2 hasn't carried over into WCAG 2 but it shouldn't be excluded because it is not testable as it is still a fundamental guideline for this user group. In the Introduction it states that WCAG2 is for people with cognitive and learning problems so therefore this checkpoint should be in WCAG 2.
