You are welcome, however this should be taken with a grain of salt. Your
questions are policy interpretations. Although WebAIM is a wonderful
resource, only agency Section 508 Coordinators can make this decision.
Under my position, officially i can make interpretations like I did below,
it is not an official position. You and your supervisor must talk to the
508 Coordinator. If you need help finding a POC, please let me know.

Sorry for not including this disclaimer before
