Indeed (also relating to the other thread about tiny clickable
elements). In my reports, I often include an issue, explain that
*nominally* a tested page/site passes the letter of WCAG, but that
nonetheless there are things that should be fixed (same goes for, say,
still including a skip link, despite the use of landmark roles and
proper heading structure, to account for keyboard users without any
special AT).
