This success criterion delivers less in the user experience than UAAG 1.0, checkpoint 3.1. UAAG makes this subject to user profiling.

Single-switch users, for example, rely on context changes that are animated by the system, not triggered one by one by the user.

Low-vision users will come down on different sides of this question depending on how much of the content they can see at once and how much of the session structure they can hold in their head.

Proposed Change:

Best
Make equivalent facilitation (now 4.2) a principle. Include user configuration of the user experience under one of the forms of alternative recognized. State user experience requirements separately; define these by reference to UAAG 1.0. State data-on-the-wire requrements separately. These have two options:

turnkey format -- player meets UAAG requirements directly.
open format -- format populates machinable content model (c.f. rewritten 4.1) with information and actions that let UA manage and provide this capability.; Related issues: (space separated ids); WG Notes: [TEAMB] Discussed in the 01 February 2007 telecon: resolution: accept as ammended http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2007/02/01-wai-wcag-minutes.html; Resolution: Determining equivalent facilitation at this granularity so that it is testable is beyond the scope of WCAG 2. User agents and assistive technology may present alternative renderings of the content tailored for the user, but the author should present a base set of behaviors in which changes of context are initiated only by user request.; (Please make sure the resolution is adapted for public consumption)
