Re: lvtf-ACTION-51: Write user need on "non-text contrast" - [can change the name, border, grids, etc]

Note: 3.5.1 Element-level customization talks about borders and colors.
perhaps we can expand the explanatory text to illustrate the need to change
"non-text contrast".

That said, I think this is a major issue to be added to WCAG. Minimum
contrast (WCAG 1.4.3) should apply to more than only text and images of
text content. It should apply to form controls and other elements with
borders.
