Drafts of individual WCAG success criteria to migrate to Silver

We are migrating a few current WCAG 2.1 success criteria to Silver to test our process. The drafts of the migrated success criteria under development are:

  1. Section Headings - this was the Plain Language prototype proof of concept. It is in HTML with a tab interface.
  2. Visual Contrast of Text (formerly Color Contrast)
  1. Audio Description draft from AccessU face-to-face (May 2019)
  2. Alternative Text
  1. Pause Stop Hide (from original plain language prototype) is also a midrange difficulty SC, but is very long - First (rough) draft ready
  2. Language of Environment - adapting 3.1.1 Language of Page - sketched out showing how Methods could be written for user agents, authoring tools, and emerging technologies.
  3. Sensory Characteristics (from original plain language prototype) is midrange difficultly SC - not started
  4. Timing (example of merging levels) - not started
