Provision F does not adequately address physical accessibility issues. We
would suggest either adding a new provision (or possibly expanding F to
address these issues). The provision should focus on individuals who are
unable to access the computer through traditional input devices such as
keyboards and mice. Possible language (following the existing format of the
other criteria) would be: "At least one mode shall be provided that allows
full use of product without using touch, directly or with users' AT."
