To address users with special needs, the Article 29 Working Party suggest to add the following text to section 7.7 ‘User interface guidelines’:
Special consideration must be given to ensure that no group of web users are treated less favourably or are otherwise discriminated against, for example, as a result of a disability. This will be particularly important for those devices which have limited, or no, display and configuration capabilities. - Related Actions Items:

Related notes:
Editor's opinion is WONTFIX because the section is non-normative
and UI requirements are out of scope. This does not imply that
accessibility considerations are not important whenever a UI might
be defined. However, because we don't define one, we can't make
requirements about it being accessible. If we did, it should probably
be in the form of a reference to WCAG's work, or some other group that
documents accessibility guidelines far better than we can.
