Re: browsers and screen reader testing

Hello Steve,
Is the description of the experience in all cells whether marked
Failed / Works / Works fine not sufficient or clear enough?
Note: my focus is on the screen reader - browser combo experience.
For instance, I have not commented on whether the placeholder text is
available visually or has sufficient contrast for non-AT users.

Thanks,
Sailesh Panchang
