Current 508 wording:
21(g) Applications shall not override user selected contrast and color
selections and other individual display attributes
Jonathon comments on the wiki that the use of the phrase "other display
attributes" is vague and wonders if this applies to font size, fonts,
screen resolution, etc?
In my reading of the ISO standard, I do not see a normative provision that
correlates to this Section 508 requirement. I wonder if the ISO working
group interprets this requirement as being covered by the one about not
interfering with accessibility features.
