Jon,
I was just looking at this also. I think that we need to update F26. The example strikes me as a 1.1.1 example, and the test procedure doesn't match up with the example either.

The example says " A shopping cart uses two simple glyphs to indicate"
The test procedure says " Examine the page for non-text marks that convey information."

Even the procedure says " The objective of this technique is to show how using a graphical symbol to convey information can make content difficult to comprehend. A graphical symbol may be an image, an image of text or a pictorial or decorative character symbol (glyph) which imparts information nonverbally." which is at odds with the procedure.

So in short, I agree that this needs a look.
