Katie,

A concern has been expressed that "other display attributes defined by the
platform" is too broad because it encompasses display attributes that may
not affect accessibility.

And we tried something like "other display attributes defined by the
platform as accessibility features" but this wording is viewed as too
narrow. The display attributes might not be called accessibility features
even though they benefit accessibility.

Can you suggest wording that would solve both of these concerns without
limiting it from encompassing important future user settings?
