I took an action item at today's meeting to try to simplify the note in
this provision:
Instructions provided for understanding information and operating user
interfaces do not rely on shape, size, visual location, or orientation of
components.
* Note: Additional information for use by assistive technologies - such
as alternate text to describe necessary visual cues, or programmatic
encoding of relationships between objects that is necessary for
understanding and operating the content - is sufficient.
The objective is to make it less verbose and to refer to the provisions
related to object information.
Proposal: Object information provided per the "Information and
Relationships", "User Interface Components", or "AT interoperability"
provision that describes the necessary visual cues or relationships is
sufficient.
