Allen,

Yes. The new 21 (d), identified by the short name "AT Interoperability" has
the requirement for the focus to be programmatically exposed.

This provision has the programmatic exposure remove because it is in the
new 21D right?

If you want, would this work with the definition for legal blindness, e.g.
visual acuity is 20/200 or less in the better eye with best correction, or
their field of
vision is 20 degrees or less in the better eye.

Subject: [teitac-websoftware] Provide highly visible keyboard focus and
textcursors

9.2.2 Provide highly visible keyboard focus and text cursors
Software shall provide at least one mode where keyboard focus cursors and
text cursors shall be visually locatable by people with unimpaired vision
at 2.5 meters when software is displayed on a 38 cm (15 inch) diagonal
screen at 1024 x 768 pixels resolution, without moving the cursor.
EXAMPLE 1: The software provides an option of having a thick rectangle
of contrasting color that moves to and outlines the control or field
that has keyboard focus.
EXAMPLE 2: The software provides an option of having bright, yellow
triangles extend from the top and bottom of the text cursor.
