However, for this to be true, work will need to be done to assure that user agents provide means to indicate the required state to all users, including those with disabilities, regardless of whether they are using AT. Displaying consistent visual cues (that are (or can be made) non-color-dependent), as well as programmatic indication for AT will be necessary.
