That's what I'm talking about, just hadn't sought it out properly, thank
you.

Given that, we can be much more demanding: the intent is to provide
equal usability, not just some vague idea of what's minimally
accessible. And there are cases where we do that. But we also gloss over
situations where we seem to be looking for copouts (workarounds) without
fully assessing how tedious it is to have a single switch input or read
through a straw.

Love.
