Certain accessibility guidance is quite clear and measurable. Others, far less so. Some needs of people with disabilities, especially cognitive and low vision disabilities, are not well served by guidance that can only be measured by a true/false statement. If we allow Multiple means of measurement, in addition to true/false statements, then we may include new accessibility guidance that

benefits groups that may have been underserved in the past.
14:11:27 [sarahhorton]

14:43:33 [sarahhorton]
jeanne: ITI comments on FPWD, emailed, answered questions in status document
14:43:46 [jeanne]
Are there additional Design Principles and Requirements that should be included in the WCAG 3 project?
14:43:46 [jeanne]
Yes - inclusion of a compliance level or mechanism that only depends upon automated/automatable tests rather than needing human judgement and review. Sites need to be able to approach some level of conformance without manual effort, or with minimal manual effort on a limited number of key outcomes. This would, of course, not be a desired end-point for any content, but this is sufficiently
14:43:47 [jeanne]
important for many large and highly dynamic sites that it merits mention in the requirements document.
14:45:01 [sarahhorton]
