Sailesh:

I agree that it should be an equivalent experience for sighted and
non-sighted users (hence, why hidden text alone is not sufficient).
However, what I'd like to see is where in WCAG I can justify not
indicating that Username and Password are required. If I make exceptions
outside of WCAG 2.0, that introduces the opportunity for many more
discussions on what other items we can disregard.


Thanks,
